Starts hard and gets harder. Definitely worth including as a loop of the lake.
It's quite well shaded and not very busy. We rode it in June after swimming in the lake. It was hot but the trees really helped.
Intense! 2km of effort. It's a steep, twisting climb. Yes, a real zigzagging wall. The bike was loaded, so I had a bit of a hard time of it. But that's why you climb.
To test yourself on serious gradients, it's perfect! At the top there's nothing but forest and views of the Valensole plateau.
Intense ! 2km d’efforts. Ça grimpe très fort et en lacets. Oui, un vrai mur qui zigzague. Le vélo était chargé donc j’en ai un peu bavé. Mais on grimpe pour ça.
Pour se tester sur des pourcentages sérieux, c’est parfait ! En haut rien de plus que la forêt et la vue sur le plateau de Valensole. Ah oui, j’oubliais : le village de Moustiers vaut la visite.
Wall of Moustiers de st. marie...killing.
Don't forget to drink before the climb.
It's often so hot there that throats stick together.
Muur van Moustiers...killing.
Vergeet niet te drinken voor de klim.
Vaak is het daar zo heet dat je keel dicht plakt.
One hell. For the well-trained cyclist with a good mountain gear. It's a short climb with lots of turns of 2 km, but every metre is tough. Once you reach the top, a gentle descent follows over the plateau to St Croix, where you can continue the route around the lake. A lap around the lake is about 56 km.
Een hel. Voor de goed getrainde fietser met een goed bergverzet. Het is een korte beklimming met veel bochten van 2 km, maar iedere meter is zwaar. Als je eenmaal boven bent, volgt een glooiende afdaling over het plateau naar St. Croix, waar je de route om het meer kunt voortzetten. Een rondje om het meer is ongeveer 56 km.
