If you are near Champcella anyway (or do the tour d'Izoard), this climb is nice to take along for extra altimeters.
It is super quiet and up to Le Ponteil the tarmac is very good. Soon after that it gets less and by the time it becomes gravel, it is high time to roll back to Champcella.

Als je toch bij Champcella in de buurt bent (of het rondje d'Izoard doet), is deze klim leuk om mee te nemen voor extra hoogtemeters.
Het is er super rustig en tot en met Le Ponteil is het asfalt heel goed. Snel daarna wordt het minder en tegen de tijd dat het gravel wordt, is het hoog tijd om terug te rollen naar Champcella.
