De andere recensies zeggen eigenlijk alles behalve 1 ding over deze dead-end klim.
Boven op de top is alleen maar een vrij populair restaurant.
Wil je de klim doen vlak voor of na de lunch is het druk.
Op andere momenten zie je hier geen kat... Beetje timen dus

Nice climb in the forest with longer sections around 10%. Quiet road, I saw 1 car and could use the width of the road. I expect it to be busier when the weather is nice and/or holiday time ivm camping at the top.

Mooie klim in het bos met langere stukken rond de 10%. Rustige weg, ik heb 1 auto gezien en kon de weg in de breedte gebruiken. Ik verwacht dat het drukker is als het mooi weer is en/of vakantie tijd ivm camping op de top.

Nice climb and quite heavy actually. Good views and a nice descent. Road surface also good. Unfortunately we had rain so we had to take shelter during the section.

Mooie klim en redelijk zwaar eigenlijk. Prima uitzicht ook en leuke afdaling. Wegdek ook goed. Helaas bij ons regen waardoor we moesten schuilen tijdens de afdeling.

Nice steep climb, easy on the pace and you'll get there. The asphalt is easy to do and no problem for the road bike. There was when I went cycling a lot of traffic which made it annoying especially with descents. Can be coincidence. This is a climb I recommend if you are in the area. Steep but beautiful.

Mooi steile klim, rustig aan tempo fietsen en je komt goed boven. Het asfalt prima te doen geen enkel probleem voor de racefiets. Er was toen ik ging fietsen wel veel verkeer wat het vervelend maakte helemaal met dalen. Kan toeval zijn. Dit is wel een klim die ik aanraad mocht je in de buurt zijn. Steil maar mooi.

Beautiful climb in line with the col de bussang (turn right on top). Quiet narrow road through the forest with gradients up to 14%. Must ride for cyclists who like a steep climb.

Prachtige klim in het verlengde van de col de bussang (bovenop rechtsaf). Rustige smalle weg door het bos met stijgingspercentages tot 14%. Must ride voor wielrenners die van een steile klim houden.

Relatively heavy climb with sometimes 14% over 100 meters or longer. Through a dense forest almost to the top. From here a great view of bussang and beyond. Recommended for anyone who likes steep climbs. Little traffic and other cyclists. In contrast to here given the road surface is not good. Many branches, gravel and potholes. Descend carefully. But I found it more than worth to do this climb.

Relatief zware beklimming met soms stroken 14% over 100 meter of langer. Door een dicht bos tot bijna op de top. Vanaf hier een geweldig mooi uitzicht op bussang en verder. Aanrader voor een ieder die houd van steile achteraf beklimmingen. Weinig verkeer en andere fietsers. In tegenstelling tot hier aan gegeven is het wegdek niet goed. Veel takken, split en kuiltjes. Voorzichtig afdalen. Maar ik vond het meer dan waard om deze klim te doen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Petit Drumont is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
