Nice route to combine d'Izoard with other climbs. Counter clockwise driving is best. The climb of d'Izoard from Guillestre is more beautiful than the other side. Also, descending over Mur de Pallon is not a good idea.
Not all pieces are super nice. Near Villar-Saint-Panrace it is not so interesting, but anything is better than driving over the N94. This round trip succeeds very well in that.
There are plenty of possibilities to extend this route. Scoring extra altimeters can be done easily at Le Ponteil (enter the village near Champcella and continue) or through Eygliers to Le Gros etc.

Mooie route om d'Izoard te combineren met andere klimmetjes. Tegen de klok inrijden, is het beste. De beklimming van d'Izoard vanuit Guillestre is mooier dan de andere kant. Ook lijkt me afdalen over Mur de Pallon niet zo'n goed idee.
Niet alle stukken zijn super mooi. Bij Villar-Saint-Panrace is het niet zo boeiend, maar alles is beter dan rijden over de N94. Daarin slaagt dit rondje goed.
Er zijn legio mogelijkheden om deze route nog wat uit te breiden. Extra hoogtemeters scoren kan makkelijk bij bijvoorbeeld Le Ponteil (bij Champcella het dorp inrijden en verder) of door Eygliers naar Le Gros etc.
