An ascent through a majestic valley (personally my favourite), without ever reaching exaggerated gradients; it is long but rideable, and for this reason you can fully enjoy the nature in which it unfolds.
With the exception of the high season, there is almost never any traffic, although you may come across a few campers, which can be a nuisance on the descent.
If you tackle the climb at times of the year when there is not an exaggerated influx of tourists, it can happen, as I did, to have pleasant encounters with ibexes and chamois that have descended to road level.
Salita che si sviluppa in una valle maestosa (personalmente la mia preferita), senza mai raggiungere pendenze esagerate; è lunga ma pedalabile e per questo riesce a gustare pienamente la natura in cui si sviluppa.
Tolta l'altissima stagione non c'è quasi mai traffico anche se può capitare di incrociare qualche camper che in discesa può procurare noia.
Se si affronta la salita in periodi dell'anno con afflusso turistico non esagerato può capitare, come al sottoscritto di fare piacevoli incontri con stambecchi e camosci scesi fino al livello della strada.
One of the beautiful mountain rides from the Aosta valley. Once you start climbing up along the river after Introd in the valley, it's a long runner, interspersed with steep sections. It's more the length that draws you blank than the steepness. You are rewarded with beautiful views, with the Gran Paradiso at the end of the road as a dessert.
Less crowded than the Grand St. Bernard or Cogne, and no work traffic, but in Italy you rarely escape in July / August on this kind of mountain roads to streams of cars's.
Eén van de mooie bergritten vanuit de Aosta vallei. Zodra je na Introd in het dal langs de rivier omhoog begint te klimmen, is het een lange loper, afgewisseld met steile stukken. Het is meer de lengte die je leeg trekt dan de steilheid. Je wordt beloond op fraaie vergezichten, met als toetje de Gran Paradiso op het einde van de weg.
Minder druk dan de Grand St. Bernard of Cogne, en geen werkverkeer, maar in Italië ontsnap je zelden in juli/augustus op dit soort bergwegen aan stromen auto's.
Nice climb along a wide river up. Quirky so you do not get into a rhythm
Mooie klim langs een brede rivier omhoog. Wel grillig zodat je niet in ritme komt
Done it yesterday, together with my wife. super nice climb really worth it! and to do!
One detail, the climb is 26km long (not 23,9) measured from the roundabout (start SR23) to the end of the road (ferry). And good to know... the last 3 km has several parts of over 9%. But once at the top, the valley of Pont is FANTASTIC!
So just do it!
gisteren gedaan, samen met mijn vrouw. super mooie klim echt de moeite waard! en te doen!
Wel een detail.. de klim is 26km lang (niet 23,9) gemeten vanaf de rotonde (start SR23) tot en met het einde van de weg (pont). En goed om te weten.. de laatste 3 km kent nog verschillende stukjes van boven de 9%. Maar eenmaal boven is het dal van Pont FANTASTICH!
Dus gewoon doen!
