Nice gentle climb, up to the village lots of hairpin turns, quite gradual ascent. Until the village good tarmac and a bit of traffic. Above the village no traffic nice rural route quite steep on average but nowhere super steep, asphalt is moderate here, quite a few cracks few holes and gravel on the road here and there. Stopped where the asphalt turns into a dirt track. The descent to macot plagne/aime is very relaxing. For the way back from aime to moutiers there is an illuminated cycle tunnel,... read more

Nice gentle climb, up to the village lots of hairpin turns, quite gradual ascent. Until the village good tarmac and a bit of traffic. Above the village no traffic nice rural route quite steep on average but nowhere super steep, asphalt is moderate here, quite a few cracks few holes and gravel on the road here and there. Stopped where the asphalt turns into a dirt track. The descent to macot plagne/aime is very relaxing. For the way back from aime to moutiers there is an illuminated cycle tunnel, no lamp needed, did do some stretches on the main road, possibly there is a better alternative, but this was ok to do.

Mooie rustige klim, tot het dorp heel veel haarspeld bochten, behoorlijk geleidelijke stijging. Tot aan het dorp goed asfalt en een beetje verkeer. Boven het dorp geen verkeer mooie landelijke route gemiddeld behoorlijk steil maar nergens super steil, asfalt is hier matig, behoorlijk wat scheuren paar gaten en hier en daar grind op de weg. Gestopt waar het asfalt overgaat in een onverhard pad. De afdaling naar macot plagne/aime is erg relaxt. Voor de terug weg vanuit aime naar moutiers is er een verlichte fietstunnel, geen lamp nodig, wel wat stukken over de grote weg gedaan, mogelijk is er een beter alternatief, maar dit was ok te doen.

Steady fun climb on good pavement. Agree with the other review, good to descend to Macots. The part where the picture is is wonderful, low decline and just feels like floating. A great ride!

Fine climb constantly uphill. Starts nice bit of descending to a village then starts climbing. It can feel monotonous constantly through the forest and only hairpin bends, advantage is very quiet and exceptionally good tarmac. The surprise is in the village you approach, nicely decorated. Once there, you can descend towards aime but this climb sends you to the campsite. Here you get nice views but still that turns back into woodland. Asphalt is still nice, just keep climbing and you're there! The descent towards aime is beautiful and much nicer than the 376 hairpin bends!

Fijne klim constant omhoog. Begint mooie stukje dalen naar een dorpje dan begint het klimmen. Het kan eentonig aanvoelen constant door het bos en alleen maar haarspeldbochten, voordeel is wel heel rustig en buitengewoon goed asfalt. De verassing zit in het dorpje wat je nader, leuk versiert. Als je daar eenmaal bent kun je dalen richting aime maar deze klim stuurt je naar de camping. Hier krijg je mooie vergezichten maar toch veranderd dat weer in bosgebied. Asfalt is nog steeds aardig, even doorklimmen en je bent er! De afdaling richting aime is prachtig en veel fijner dan de 376 haarspeldbochten!
