A rare climb from Briançon, not too bad... But it ends in a dirt road ...............
Subida poco frecuente desde Briançon, no está mal.. Pero acaba en un camino de tierra...............
Climb starts immediately uphill when leaving Briançon (route du Gap) via 2 hairpin bends to Le Pinet. Route climbs up the valley flank with some double digit lanes. There is a fairly new route that climbs spectacularly hanging and twisting against the cliff with a wonderful panoramic view of the valley. Continue to Puy St.Andre, a small cosy village with a church, rest for a while and then continue to Puy Chalvin, the last small village with a few houses and a chapel. Was for me the end point (6 km - 1650 m end altitude) because the asphalt road just outside the village turns into a gravel path.
Ideal solid warm-up with hardly any traffic (not even cyclists) for cycling on the tour classics from Briancon.
Klim start direct bergop bij uit fietsen Briançon (route du Gap) via 2 haarspeldbochten naar Le Pinet. Route klimt vallei flank op met enkele dubbele cijferstroken. Er is een vrij nieuw aangelegd traject dat spectaculair hangend en draaiend tegen de rotswand klimt met wondermooi panoramisch zicht op de vallei. Doorfietsen van klein gezellig dorpje met kerk Puy St.Andre is even recupereren om vervolgens verder te klimmen tot Puy Chalvin, laatste kleine nederzetting met paar huisjes en kapel. Was voor mij eindpunt (6 km - 1650 m eindhoogte) daar de asfaltweg even buiten het dorp over gaat in grindpad.
Ideale stevige opwarmer met amper verkeer (zelfs geen fietsers) voor fietswerk op de tour klassiekers vanuit Briancon.
