Je vois que la statistique des 100 m les plus raides de l'ascension a été rectifiée depuis mon précédent commentaire. De fait, les 14,2% qui sont indiqués maintenant sont beaucoup plus réalistes ! :-)

The first two kilometres are the ascent to Chamrousse. Then, just outside Belmont, you turn right for a short descent (with fine views) followed by a fairly narrow but good road that climbs steeply, mostly through the forest.

Beautiful views of Grenoble, the Voreppe valley, the Chartreuse and the Vercors from the hamlet of Montchaffrey, at the end of the slope.

It's worth noting that while the gradient is indeed generally steep, I couldn't find any trace of the 19.8 % per 100 m recorded on the profile.

Les deux premiers kilomètres sont ceux de la montée de Chamrousse. Puis vers la sortie de Belmont, on tourne à droite pour emprunter une brève descente (beau point de vue) suivie d'une route assez étroite mais en bon état, qui monte sérieusement, la plupart du temps en pleine forêt.

Beaux points de vue sur Grenoble, la cluse de Voreppe, la Chartreuse et le Vercors au hameau de Montchaffrey, terme de la côte.

À noter que si la pente est en effet globalement élevée, je n'ai pas trouvé trace des 19,8 % sur 100 m relevés sur le profil.
