A magnificent, little-frequented climb as an alternative to its more famous (and less steep) neighbour, the Côte de Domancy. The surface is good and the views magnificent. The difficult part is at the chapel. (The hairpin at the end is very steep, so it's best to move to the left to get through it as best you can...)... read more

A magnificent, little-frequented climb as an alternative to its more famous (and less steep) neighbour, the Côte de Domancy. The surface is good and the views magnificent.
The difficult part is at the chapel.

(The hairpin at the end is very steep, so it's best to move to the left to get through it as best you can...)

Magnifique montée peu fréquentée en alternative à sa voisine plus célèbre la côte de Domancy (et moins raide). Le revêtement est bon, la vue est magnifique.
La partie difficile est au niveau de la chapelle.

(L’épingle juste à la fin est très raide, mieux vaut se deporter sur la gauche pour la franchir au mieux …)
