Very nice climb with light traffic. Once you've crossed the highway - there are exits and entries to it, but it's not in any way interfering with the climb - the hairpins have numbers, starting at 14 (I think) and counting down to the village. It's worth continuing past Valfréjus up to and past le Seuil to the ventilation outlet for the Fréjus tunnel. That bit starts with a poor stretch of road, but quickly becomes neatly paved a bit further on.
What a beautiful climb this is. Very nice views of both the bare peaks with some snow and deep views into the valley. As the climb progresses you see other views. In between you also climb over a river where a house is. At the top is also beautiful the text above is somewhat misleading, easy to find with signs and not hindered by a highway. The tarmac is also sublime and little traffic. If you have some left you can do the next climb. Classification beautiful landscape definitely worth it could not make enough pictures. Climb itself is nice and spicy starts easy but the last 3 km are delicious!
Wat een schitterende klim is dit. Hele mooie vergezichten van zowel de kale toppen met wat sneeuw als diepe zichten in het dal. Naarmate de klim vordert zie je weer andere uitzichten. Tussendoor klim je ook over een rivier heen waar een huisje staat. Op de top is het ook prachtig de text hierboven is iets misleidend, goed te vinden met bordjes en geen hinder van een snelweg. Het asfalt is ook subliem en weinig verkeer. Als je nog wat over hebt kun je de volgende klim doen. Classificatie mooi landschap zeker waard kon niet genoeg foto's maken. Klim zelf is lekker pittig begint makkelijk maar de laatste 3 km zijn heerlijk!
