The climb is fairly regular, and the road is a boulevard. In summer, the road is always in full sun, so beware of the heat. Lovely views over the Grenoble conurbation and the Belledonne mountain range.... read more

A classic climb in the region. A wide road, some fine viewpoints and a fairly even gradient, with the most difficult part halfway up.
A good benchmark for testing your fitness.

Une montée classique de la région. Route large, quelques beaux points de vue, et pente assez régulière avec la partie la plus difficile à mi-parcours.
Un bonne référence pour tester sa forme.

Ridden up this climb for the 2nd time today in the evening after 19:00.
The sun is no longer as hot as during the day. Traffic was not too bad. Rode up 10 min faster than last time in the heat.

Vandaag deze klim voor de 2e keer omhoog gereden in de avond na 19:00.
De zon is niet meer zo heet als overdag. Verkeersdrukte viel mee. 10 min sneller omhoog gereden dan de vorige keer in de hitte.

If you are unlucky there is a lot of traffic driving around you.....

The road is beautiful but very busy, which can be dangerous. It's very hot, but the finish in the Vercors rewards you.

La route est belle mais très fréquentées ça peut être dangereux. Il fait très chaud mais l’ont est récompensée par l’arrivée dans le Vercors.

Like its alternative via Seyssins, which it closely resembles and which it joins after about 5 km, the road is wide and very busy, since it is the main road access to the Vercors after the road to the Engins gorges which leaves from Sassenage. But its very panoramic aspect and its relative regularity make it one of the favourite climbs of the people of Grenoble.

Comme son alternative par Seyssins, à laquelle elle ressemble beaucoup et qu'elle rejoint après 5 km environ, la route est large et très fréquentée puisqu'il s'agit de la principale porte d'accès routière au Vercors après la route des gorges d'Engins qui part de Sassenage. Mais son caractère très panoramique et sa relative grande régularité en fait une des côtes préférées des Grenoblois.
