Given that the road leads to a quarry, I was expecting a poor surface. It turns out to be nothing of the sort: the climb is very quiet, and the road (although not a pool table) is really good.
The climb can be divided into three parts: the first is fairly irregular up to Lordat, a very gentle section after the junction and then the last 10 kilometres are relatively regular. It's an excellent route to discover, with very little traffic and lots of hairpins, but with great views over the valley from the summit. The only downside is that you can't get a view of the quarry, as a barrier prevents you from going any higher. But you'll love this little-known climb, which is totally worth the diversions!
Étant donné que la route mène vers une carrière, je m'attendais à un mauvais revêtement. Il n'en est finalement rien : l'ascension est très calme, la route (sans être un billard) est vraiment bonne.
On peut diviser l'ascension en trois parties : une première plutôt irrégulière jusqu'à Lordat, une portion très douce après l'intersection puis les 10 derniers kilomètres relativement réguliers. Une excellente découverte, très peu fréquentée, avec de nombreuses épingles et qui offre pourtant un super point de vue sur la vallée une fois au sommet. Seul petit bémol : on ne peut pas avoir de vue sur la carrière, une barrière vous empêche de monter plus haut. Mais vous allez adorer cette ascension assez méconnue, qui vaut pourtant totalement le détour !
