Do it on 2 July 2024 with Éric and Yves.
Montfort is a little-known hamlet nestling above Plombière ST Marcel, just a stone's throw from Moutiers, accessible via a road cut into the side of a cliff with impeccable tarmac that has been completely redone to date (we were surprised).
The ascent is steep ( very steep ) with many passages above 10％, we quickly overlook the valley, the profile is representative of the average slope but the 15,9％ over 100M indicated does not exist on the ground.
A good part of the climb is in the shade, traffic is calm, the village is reached after about 5km but the ascent continues for a little over 700M or so still on a gradient of around 10％.
Note a drinking water fountain in a bend at Montfort.
Take care on the descent, as in some places you have to avoid the rocks (some of them large) that have fallen from the cliffs.
PS: For cyclists on holiday in or near Moutiers, I recommend this climb, which is a departure from the standard of the major cols.
Faites le 2 juillet 2024 avec Éric et Yves.
Montfort est un petit hameau méconnu niché au dessus de Plombière ST Marcel à quelques encablures de Moutiers, accessible par une Rte taillée à flancs de falaise avec un bitume impeccable et refait à neuf à ce jour ( nous avons même étaient surpris )
L'ascension est raide ( très raide ) avec de nombreux passages au dessus de 10％ ,on surplombe rapidement la vallée, le profil est représentatif de la pente moyenne mais les 15,9％ sur 100M indiqués n’existent pas sur le terrain.
Une bonne partie de la montée est à l'ombre, la circulation est calme, le village est atteint après environ 5km mais l'ascension se prolonge un peu plus de 700M environ toujours dans une pente aux alentours de 10％.
A noter une fontaine d'eau potable dans un lacet à Montfort.
Prudence dans la descente car il faut éviter à certains endroits les cailloux ( parfois gros ) tombés de la falaise.
PS : Pour les cyclistes en vacances à Moutiers ou proche, je recommande cette ascension qui sort du standard des grands cols.
