J'ai fait cette montée hier et le début n'est pas à 7-8％ mais à 10-14％. C'est quand même nettement plus difficile.

A nice little climb through the woods. This side of the loop is nice and quiet and lets you enjoy nature. You can continue at the end of the climb and descend via the southern side. This road goes through a village and is a bit busier

Een lekker klimmetje door de bossen. Deze kant van de lus is lekker rustig en laat je lekker genieten van de natuur. Je kan aan het einde van de klim doorrijden en via de zuidelijke kant afdalen. Deze weg gaat door een dorpje en is wat drukker

Here you climb through the pretty pastures of the Fribourg Pre-Alps, which is a real pleasure! The view of the Moléson is the reward!

On monte ici dans les jolis pâturages des Préalpes fribourgeoises, bien agréable ! La vue sur le Moléson est la récompense !

Les Paccots is a pretty winter sports resort at 1061 m, belonging to Châtel St Denis in the Canton of Fribourg. From Châtel St Denis you can take the Route des Paccots but there is a lot of traffic. It is therefore absolutely recommended to take the road from Prauthey to La Frasse. The first few kilometres are moderately steep (up to 9.5％), then it goes smoothly. There is a beautiful view of the Dent de Lys on the way up. There are several fountains with drinking water on the way. A highly recommended climb.

A partir de Châtel St Denis, on peut prendre la Route des Paccots mais il y a beaucoup de trafic. C'est donc absolument recommandé de prendre la route de Prauthey vers La Frasse. Les premiers kilomètres sont modérément raides (jusqu'à 9.5％), puis, ça roule sans problème. On a une belle vue de la Dent de Lys en ascendant. Il y a plusieurs fontaines avec de l'eau potable sur le chemin. Montée très recommandée.
