Tough climb. First two kilometres of run-up and then it really starts on the smallest gear. Very quiet on this road. At the top, take a moment to look for the view of Samoens.
Zware klim. Eerste twee kilometer aanloop en dan begint het echt op de kleinste versnelling. Zeer rustig op deze weg. Op de top even zoeken naar het uitzicht op Samoens.
Nice challenge.
Not very long but never disconnected. Part of the road has been resurfaced and is a real billiard table, the other half is in very poor condition. There aren't any great views; you climb up there more for the challenge than for the panorama, even though it's very pretty up there.
Beau challenge.
Pas très long mais ça débranche jamais. Une partie de la route a été refaite et est un vrai billard, l'autre moitié est en état très moyen. Pas de très belles vues, on monte là-haut plus pour le défi que pour le panorama, même si là-haut c'est très joli
Very difficult climb (especially for those over 80 kg) the 3 km in a row at 12 ％ are unbearable but the view at the top is so beautiful that it's worth the effort.
Ascension très difficile (surtout au dessus de 80 kg) les 3kms d'affilé a 12 ％ sont imbuvables mais la vue en haut est tellement belle que l'effort en vaut la chandelle
Really a very tough climb. In the beginning you have the sections above 12 per cent and after that you don't really have anywhere where you can get into your rhythm. Only the last few hundred metres are better. The views over the valley are nice, during the climb you have few nice stretches. The asphalt is terrible in many places so unsuitable for lovers of descents.
Echt een zeer zware beklimming. In het begin heb je de stukken van boven de 12 procent en daarna heb je eigenlijk nergens een stuk waar je in je ritme kunt komen. Alleen de laatste paar honderd meter zijn beter. Het uitzicht over het dal is mooi, tijdens de klim heb je weinig mooie stukken. Het asfalt is op veel plekken verschrikkelijk dus ongeschikt voor liefhebbers van dalen.
