This slope from Guillaumes is far less stunning and impressive than the one that starts near Touët and crosses the Gorges du Cians.
Here, the landscapes are wiser and more "classic".
The gradients on this climb are very regular. So you find your own rhythm.
I thought the route was good.
At this time of year, Valberg is windswept and virtually deserted. I didn't linger.
OK, then. A bit disappointing. Anyway, this is one of the roads leading to La Couillole.
Ce versant depuis Guillaumes est nettement moins étonnant, moins impressionnant que celui qui démarre de près de Touët et traverse les Gorges du Cians.
Ici, les paysages sont plus sages et plus « classiques ».
Les pourcentages de cette ascension sont très réguliers. On trouve donc son rythme.
La route m’a paru bonne.
Valberg, à cette saison, est balayée par les vents et quasi déserte. Je ne my suis pas attardé.
Bon. Un peu décevant. Enfin, c’est une des routes qui mènent à la Couillole.
Nice and steady climb from the lovely village of Guillaumes. You can still refill your water bottle here. Views along the way are nice. Unfortunately, Valberg is a French ski village. In other words, at the summit no views and no conviviality.
Leuke en gelijkmatige klim vanuit het liefelijke plaatsje Guillaumes. Hier kun je nog je bidon bijvullen. Uitzichten onderweg zijn mooi. Helaas is Valberg een Frans skidorp. Met andere woorden, op de top geen uitzicht en geen gezelligheid.
Today is the inauguration of the 06 connected pass.
I'm taking part and improving my times..a nice diversions.
Aujourd'hui c'est inauguré du col connecté 06.
J'y participe et améliore mes temps de passage..un chouette détour
I know of few cols where the road climbs so gradually. Of the 13 kilometres, all between 6.9 and 7.8 ％. There is little shade, so a filled water bottle in Guillaumes is no luxury. The ski station Valberg has many restaurants for a good snack. Nice to combine with the col de la Couillole. From the Valberg side approached really easy. But from ST Sauveur sur Tinée a real struggle.
Ik ken maar weinig cols waar de weg zo geleidelijk klimt. Van de 13 strekkende kilometers allemaal tussen de 6.9 en 7.8 ％. Weinig schaduw dus een gevulde drinkbus in Guillaumes is geen overbodige luxe. Het ski station Valberg heeft heel veel restaurantjes voor een goede snack. Leuk om te combineren met de col de la Couillole. Vanaf de Valberg zijde benaderd echt eenvoudig. Maar vanuit ST Sauveur sur Tinée een hele kluif.
