Beautiful climb BUT not possible with a road bike because of the gravel and loose stones in the second part. I have done the climb with the mountain bike and it is also possible with a gravel bike. The climb is one in 2 parts. The first part is the road surface is very good and certainly not steep but halfway you have to turn right to drive to Montreal les Sources and there the road surface is very bad but very nice to cycle and a fantastic climb for a gravel or mountain bike.

Beautiful climb BUT not possible with a road bike because of the gravel and loose stones in the second part.
I have done the climb with the mountain bike and it is also possible with a gravel bike. The climb is one in 2 parts. The first part is the road surface is very good and certainly not steep but halfway you have to turn right to drive to Montreal les Sources and there the road surface is very bad but very nice to cycle and a fantastic climb for a gravel or mountain bike. There are short sections of over 15 ％ and the scenery is very beautiful. The road that runs parallel to the D205 has a very good road surface but less steep parts but also very irregular with regard to gradients.
I have catalogued it with 4 stars because it was so beautiful and challenging with my mountain bike and the steep second part hurts the legs especially with all 1000 altimeters in the legs. Not easy to find the right way because of the many turns.

Prachtige beklimming MAAR niet mogelijk met een wegfiets vanwege de grind en losliggende steentjes in het tweede deel.
Ik heb de beklimming met de mountainbike gedaan en hij is ook mogelijk met een gravelbike . De klim is er eentje in 2 delen. Het eerste deel is het wegdek zeer goed en zeker niet steil maar halfweg moet je rechtsaf om naar Montreal les Sources te rijden en daar is het wegdek zeer slecht maar wel zeer mooi om te fietsen en fantastische beklimming voor een gravel of mountainbike . Er zijn korte stukjes van ruim 15 ％ en de omgeving is zeer mooi. De weg die parallel loopt via de D205 is wel met een zeer goed wegdek maar minder steilere stukken maar ook heel onregelmatig wat betreft stijgingspercentages.
Ik heb hem gecatalogeerd met 4 sterren omdat hij zo mooi en uitdagend was met mijn mountainbike en het steile 2de deel best pijn doet aan de benen zeker met al 1000 hoogtemeters in de benen. Wel niet makkelijk om de juiste weg te zoeken vanwege de vele afslagjes.
