La ascensión a Saucelle se situa en la comarca salmantina de Las Arribes, froteriza con Portugal. Se inicia la ascensión desde el antiguo pablado de la central hidroelectríca (hoy alojamientos rurales llamados Aldeaduero) hasta las proximidades del pueblo de Saucelle es una subida donde nos vamos a encontrar rampas muy duras, de hasta un 12％ justo en la zona de la presa. A partir de ahí es una ascensión con cierta dureza pero asequible para cualquier cicloturista.
La subida te hará detenerte en varios de los miradores que hay en la zona, desde donde se puede observar el embalse de Saucelle, la propia presa y el salto de agua, y unas inmejorables vistas de Aldeaduero, del rio Duero y de Portugal, al otro lado del río.
