Six hard miles. Firm average. Climb starts immediately over the water in Les Houches without mercy. Number of hairpins along the way. The last kilometer past the parking lots (Parc Merlet is a zoo on the mountain) is a long straight up that seems to last forever. The climb turns into an unpaved part for the enthusiasts. Every now and then a car (visitors park).
Zes zware kilometers. Stevig gemiddelde. Klim begint meteen over het water in Les Houches zonder genade. Aantal haarspelden onderweg. De laatste kilometer langs de parkeerplaatsen (Parc Merlet is een dierenpark op de berg) is een lange rechte weg omhoog die oneindig lijkt te duren. De klim gaat over in onverhard stuk voor de liefhebber. Zo nu en dan een auto (bezoekers park).
