A nice climb with a constant percentage, so it's not too much of a leg-breaker. The surface is good and the scenery is nice. You can push on past Arboussols (I didn't, lack of time).
No shady spot ☀️ though......read more

Une belle montée avec un pourcentage constant mais l’effort est important vu qu’on est jamais en dessous de 7%. Le revêtement est bon et le décor est sympa.
Aucun coin d’ombre ☀️ par contre…
