In the off-season, the climb is quiet with little traffic. The surface is good. I found the climb really difficult, the gradients are fairly even, but it's steep! You're in the forest for most of the ascent and some sections are well shaded, ideal for hot weather. There's also a drinking water fountain at the top, on your right by the small square. A beautiful climb that shouldn't be underestimated... read more

En hors-saison, la montée est calme avec peu de circulation. Le revêtement est bon. J'ai trouvé l'ascension vraiment difficile, les pourcentages sont assez réguliers, mais que c'est raide ! Vous êtes dans la forêt pendant la majeure partie de l'ascension et certaines portions sont bien ombragées, idéal en cas de forte chaleur. Vous avez également une fontaine d'eau potable au sommet, sur votre droite au niveau de la petite place. Une belle montée qu'il ne faut pas sous-estimer

Nice climb, irregular percentages. Asphalt reasonable, but doable. The road is very quiet and the ski village is also very quiet

Mooie klim, onregelmatig percentages. Asfalt redelijk, maar goed te doen. De weg is erg rustig en ook in het skidorpje is het erg rustig

The climb starts in the centre of Ax-les-Thermes. The road is wide, but not equally good everywhere; sometimes caution is needed on the descent (June 2024).
Although the climb is not very long, it can be very tough at times.
The vegetation along the side often blocks the view of the surroundings, but occasionally you do get a nice view of the town. At the top of the ski village, as is often the case, there is little to do in summer.

De klim begint in het centrum van Ax-les-Thermes. De weg is breed, maar niet overal even goed; soms is het oppassen in de afdaling (juni 2024).
Hoewel de beklimming niet erg lang is, kan het bij momenten zeer pittig zijn.
De begroeiing langs de kant blokkeert vaak het zicht op de omgeving, maar af en toe krijg je toch een mooi zicht op het stadje. Boven in het skidorpje is, zoals vaak, in de zomer weinig te beleven.
