I’m not giving it my all because the climb itself isn’t particularly memorable. The view, on the other hand, certainly is. You’re surrounded by the green valley, with the river running alongside the road. It starts off steeply, then there’s a slight incline all the way to the barrier. After the barrier, there are hairpin bends followed by a climb leading up to a dirt car park. There are drinking fountains along the valley and heavy traffic right up to the barrier. Beyond that, the only thing you’re likely to come across is the regular bus service.

Non do il massimo perché la salita in sé non è indimenticabile. Il panorama invece lo è. Si è immersi nella valle verde col fiume lungo la strada. Si parte in maniera decisa, poi un falsopiano fino alla sbarra. Dopo la sbarra i tornanti e poi una salita che porta fino ad un parcheggio sterrato. Fontanelle lungo la valle e traffico al massimo fino alla sbarra. Dopo la quale al massimo si incontra il bus di linea

Pedalare al tardo pomeriggio in estate al cospetto dei più affascinanti giganti delle Alpi Occidentali non ha prezzo. Salita gradevole, senza particolari difficoltà. Vale per il panorama, immenso.
