Hidden gem! The climb is rather hidden, but winds beautifully between the trees via 11 hairpin bends upwards. No traffic in sight, and at the top a view of Orcière Merlette on the other side of the valley; a climb that is also worthwhile.... read more

Verborgen pareltje! De klim ligt nogal verscholen, maar kronkelt prachtig tussen de bomen via 11 haarspeldbochten omhoog. Geen verkeer te bekennen, en bovenop zicht op Orcière Merlette aan de overkant van het dal; een klim die ook de moeite waard is.
