Very beautiful ascent, which starts very steeply and then flattens out later. Wonderful views of the valley!... read more

Very beautiful ascent, which starts very steeply and then flattens out later. Wonderful views of the valley!

Sehr schöner Anstieg, der sehr steil beginnt und dannnn später flacher wird. Wunderschöne Blicke ins Tal!

Short, nice climb that starts in the descent of Col de l'Echelle towards Bardonnechia. The first roughly one and a half kilometres are tough, as the road climbs very steeply almost immediately. After a few hairpin bends, the ascent softens and you cycle through beautiful, unspoilt nature towards the summit, where it seems a paradise especially for hikers. Unknown summit!

Korte, mooie beklimming die begint in de afzink van Col de l'Echelle richting Bardonnechia. De eerste pakweg anderhalve kilometer is zwoegen, want de weg gaat vrijwel meteen erg steil omhoog. Na enkele haarspeldbochten mildert de stijging en fiets je door een prachtige, ongerepte natuur richting de top, waar het vooral voor wandelaars een paradijs lijkt. Onbekende toppertje!
