Unspectacular but well suited if you want to ride a climb without traffic with little time.

Unspektakulär aber gut geeignet, wenn man mit wenig Zeit einen Anstieg ohne Verkehr fahren möchte.

It was better than I'd imagined. First of all, the route is pretty good, notwithstanding the last kilometre to the Puy Saint Vincent 1800 resort.
The views, while not breathtaking, are still very harmonious. And the resort isn't the ugliest in the area. This day, it was deserted. There were still a few patches of snow. The climb goes well. It's never very painful. I really enjoyed it.
In any case, in my opinion, in the category of winter sports resorts, it's no less interesting than Les Orres.

C’était mieux que ce que j’avais imaginé. D’abord la route est plutôt bonne nonobstant le dernier kilomètre qui conduit à la station Puy Saint Vincent 1800.
Les vues, sans être époustouflantes, sont tout de même très harmonieuses. Et puis la station n’est vraiment pas la plus moche des environs. Ce jour, elle était déserte. Quelques nappes de neige résistaient encore. La montée se fait bien. Elle n’est jamais très douloureuse. J’ai bien aimé.
En tout cas, selon moi, dans la catégorie stations de sports d’hiver, ce n’est pas moins intéressant que Les Orres.
La descente sur Vallouise est très agréable.

A nice climb. Starts pretty hard (especially if you start cold at the bottom), but fortunately after a few kilometres it flattens out a bit so you can catch your breath. After Puy st. Vincent, the last part from Puy 1600 is not very beautiful. You cycle through the ski villages. View is beautiful on the surrounding mountains.
In terms of steepness, also quite doable, with here and there some rather steep bits.

Een lekkere klim. Begint direct behoorlijk pittig (helemaal als je koud onderaan begint), maar gelukkig na een paar kilometer iets afvlakt zodat je op adem kan komen. Na Puy st. Vincent is het nog even de spieren aanspannen, waarbij het laatste stukje vanaf Puy 1600 niet meer heel mooi is. Je fietst door de skidorpen heen. Uitzicht is wel mooi op de omringende bergen.
Qua steilte ook prima te doen, met hier en daar wat veinig steile stukjes.

Actually a very nice climb. Quite steep up to 1400 and after 1600 and occasionally a nice view, but there is much nicer stuff around. Furthermore, the road is very quiet. This is one of my standard training rounds.

Eigenlijk een hele fijne klim. Behoorlijk steil tot 1400 en na 1600 en af en toe een mooi uitzicht, maar er is veel mooiers in de buurt. Verder is de weg erg rustig. Dit is één van mijn standaard trainingsrondjes.

Nice climb to do if you only have a short time or just want to cycle.

Tight asphalt. After the signs continue to climb to the end of the road. Descend via Valloise.

Mooie klim om te doen als je maar kort de tijd hebt of maar even wil fietsen.

Strak asfalt. Na de bordjes door klimmen tot aan eind van de weg. Afdalen via valloise.
