Climbed (after descending via the same route) on July 3, 2026. This, the largest canyon in Europe, is well worth the climb. It gets incredibly hot in the summer when the sun is out. The Strava segment is 7.7 km. In the middle, there’s a decent stretch with gentle gradients where you can recover. Fantastic views. At the bottom, there’s a small rest stop with a water fountain in the park. In Blandas, there’s a nice, shaded picnic area with water and restrooms (men’s and women’s).... read more

Beklommen (na zelfde weg afgedaald te hebben) op 3 juli 2026. Deze grootste canyon van Europa is de klim waard. In de zomer met zon ontzettend warm. Strava segment is 7,7 km. In het midden zit een behoorlijk stuk met lage percentages om te recupereren. Fantastische uitzichten. Beneden kleine pleisterplaats met waterbron in het parkje. In Blandas een mooie schaduwrijke picknickplaats met water en toilet (m/v).

Very nice views, nice descent before climbing back out of the gorge in full sunshine. Lots of motos though

Zeer mooi uitzicht, leuke afdaling om dan in volle zon de kloof terug uit te klimmen. Veel motos wel

This is the easier variant from the Cirque up, although I only descended here. However, I share my experience because the views remain the same as up and they are beautiful. The photos are from the top which I hope speak for themselves. It was quiet for me in terms of traffic, but because this is a tourist place I would avoid August during the day.

Dit is de makkelijkere variant vanuit de Cirque omhoog, al ben ik hier slechts afgedaald. Echter ik deel toch mijn ervaring omdat de uitzichten hetzelfde blijven als omhoog en die zijn prachtig. De foto's zijn van bovenaan die ik hoop voor zich spreken. Het was bij mij rustig qua verkeer, maar omdat dit toch een toeristische plek is zou ik Augustus overdag vermijden.
