As reported by others, busy Télégraphe part first, until the split at ~3 km from that summit. The fork to Valmenier is way more quiet and has wide open views. On a mountain bike, you can probably get to > 2,000 m....

First part is the well-known telegraphe, after the turn there are still 7 km's to climb with a short descent in between. In the beginning reasonably some shadow thanks to the trees, afterwards only bright sun. On the telegraphe the known busy traffic, afterwards it is much quieter.

Eerste deel is de gekende telegraphe, na de afslag zijn er nog 7 km's te beklimmen met een korte afdaling ertussen. In het begin redelijk wat schaduw dankzij de bomen, nadien alleen nog maar felle zon. Op de telegraphe het gekende drukke verkeer, nadien is het veel rustiger.

Ik vraag me altijd af, de Telegraphe wordt door iedereen als druk bestempeld. Wordt het vervolg richting de Galibier dan beter qua autoverkeer of heb je dan gewoon hetzelfde volume aan verkeer als op de Telegraphe?

Ascent on 31 August 2019 on the 1st day of the Maurienne-Galibier event. A regular climb. In summer, the greatest difficulty is perhaps the traffic and the heat. From Valloire, it's also a great climb for training.

Montée le 31 août 2019 lors du 1er jour de l'événement Maurienne-Galibier. Montée régulière. En été, la plus grande difficulté est peut-être le trafic et la chaleur. Depuis Valloire, c'est aussi une belle montée pour s'entraîner.
