Nice hairpins, not too challenging gradients. Best in the warmer months, as there are quite a few miles in the shade, so it's easy to get cold in spring or autumn.
Belles épingles, pourcentages pas trop éprouvants. A privilégier plutôt les mois chauds car pas mal de kms à l’ombre, donc facilement froid au printemps ou à l’automne.
Not too difficult a climb, with plenty of views over the Rhone Valley. As with many Valais roads, there is traffic to be aware of... be careful!
Une montée pas trop difficile, avec de nombreuses vues sur la vallée du Rhône. Le traffic comme sur de nombreuses routes valaisannes est à prendre en compte... attention !
Torgon will be the finishing village for the 2023 Tour de Romandie for women. The climb is accessed from the Rhone valley where there is a fairly good cycle track on both sides of the Rhone. On the right side of the Rhône you can see the UCI World Cycling Centre as you head towards Vionnaz on the left side. In Vionnaz, the road to Torgon is clearly visible. We pass behind the church of Vionnaz where we already have a beautiful view of the Rhone valley. The ascent is made by many twists and turns. We cover about 11 km between Vionnaz and Torgon. There is no really steep slope, the climb is smooth at 7-8％. The condition of the wide road is excellent and on the day I did this climb (a bank holiday) the traffic was very quiet (about 20 cars I estimate). The view of the Rhone valley and the mountains on the opposite side (Les Diablerets, Gd Muveran etc) is extraordinary. Make a small diversions for the arrival stele in Torgon (1140 m).
Torgon sera le village d'arrivée du Tour de Romandie féminin 2023. On accède la montée depuis la vallée du Rhône où il y a une piste cyclable assez bonne des deux côtés du Rhône. Du côté droit du Rhône on voit le Centre Mondial du Cyclisme de l'UCI en s'orientant vers Vionnaz du côté gauche. A Vionnaz, la route vers Torgon est bien affichée. On passe derrière l'église de Vionnaz où on a déjà une très belle vue de la vallée du Rhône. L'ascension se fait par de nombreux lacets. On couvre environ 11 km entre Vionnaz et Torgon. Il n'y a pas de pente vraiment raide, la montée est harmonieuse à 7-8％. L'état de la rue large est excellent et le jour où j'ai fait cette montée (un jour férier), la circulation était très calme (une vingtaine de voitures j'estime). La vue de la vallée du Rhône et de la montagne du côté opposé (les Diablerets, Gd Muveran etc) est extraordinaire. Faites un petit détour pour la stèle d'arrivée à Torgon (1140 m).
