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.
