Ascent tackled starting from Roisan. The road is a classic mountain road: narrow but well surfaced, in excellent condition. I travelled it during the week and green maintenance work was in progress along the route, but without any particular inconvenience.
The first part passes through several small villages, each with its own fountain where you can refresh yourself and fill your water bottles. Once past Doues, the climb plunges into the forest, offering cool and shady stretches, only to open up onto the alpine pastures in the final kilometres.
The altimetry can be misleading: the climb is not particularly regular but follows the natural profile of the mountain, with continuous changes of pace. Short ramps at 10％ alternate with more pedalable stretches, creating a varied and varied course.
The views are magnificent, especially at the top. A climb that repays all effort with its natural beauty.

Salita affrontata partendo da Roisan. La strada è una classica montagna: carreggiata stretta ma ben asfaltata, in condizioni ottime. L’ho percorsa durante la settimana e lungo il percorso erano in corso lavori di manutenzione del verde, ma senza particolari disagi.
La prima parte attraversa diversi piccoli borghi, ciascuno con la sua fontana dove è possibile rinfrescarsi e riempire le borracce. Superato Doues, la salita si immerge nel bosco, offrendo tratti freschi e ombreggiati, per poi aprirsi sugli alpeggi solo negli ultimi chilometri.
L’altimetria può trarre in inganno: la salita non è particolarmente regolare ma segue il profilo naturale della montagna, con continui cambi di ritmo. Si alternano brevi rampe al 10％ a tratti più pedalabili, creando un andamento mosso e vario.
I panorami sono magnifici, soprattutto nella parte alta. Una salita che ripaga ogni fatica con la sua bellezza naturale.

One of the unknown dead-end climbs in the high mountains you can start from historic Aosta, cycled September 2024.
You climb out of the city via Porosan up the valley flank. Afterwards, you cross to the other side of the side valley via a descent and some hairpin bends to continue the climb.
Beautifully long not to be underestimated route winds its way up through countless small villages with sometimes only a few houses and the occasional small church. Views of the vast Aosta Valley and the snow-capped peaks of the Gran Paradiso National Park to the south are clearly discernible.
After the last village of Chatellair, you cycle the final kilometres through hairpin bends in an uninhabited world between coniferous forest and alpine meadows.
At the summit, where the tarmac stops, there is nothing apart from a car park for hikers entering the high mountains from here.
As the weather can change quickly in the mountains, I unfortunately found myself in dense cloud cover at 2000m.
Fortunately, I had already feasted my eyes on the way, there are the pictures's on Climbfinder and there is still Google Earth to show me what I should have seen.

Practical:
Several water sources, good road surface, no traffic.

Absolutely recommended this long not to be underestimated nature climb!!!

Eén van de onbekende doodlopende beklimmingen in het hooggebergte die je vanuit het historische Aosta kan starten, gefietst september 2024.
Je klimt de stad uit via Porosan de valleiflank op. Nadien maak je via een afdaling en enkele haarspeldbochten de oversteek naar de andere kant van het zijdal om de klim verder te zetten.
Mooie lange niet te onderschatte route baant zich een weg omhoog door ontelbare kleine dorpjes met soms maar enkele huizen en af en toe een klein kerkje. Uitzichten op het grote Aostadal en de besneeuwde toppen van het Nationaal Park Gran Paradiso ten zuiden zijn duidelijk te spotten.
Na het laatste dorpje Chatellair, fiets je de laatste kilometers via haarspeldbochten in een onbewoonde wereld tussen naaldwoud en alpenweides.
Op de top, waar het asfalt stopt, is er buiten een parking voor wandelaars die van hieruit het hooggebergte intrekken, niks.
Zoals in het gebergte het weer snel kan veranderen kwam ik op 2000m. spijtig genoeg in het dichte wolkendek terecht.
Gelukkig had ik onderweg mijn ogen reeds de kost gegeven, zijn er de foto's op Climbfinder en is er nog altijd Google Earth die mij laat zien wat ik had moeten zien.

Praktisch:
Verschillende waterbronnen, goed wegdek, geen verkeer.

Absolute aanrader deze lange niet te onderschatten natuurklim!!!

Beautiful climb and a serious calf bite. Cycled from Valpelline to Doues and picked up after the route. Straight from Valpelline this means full in the anchors and solid climbing. After getting on the route, you will have to keep pressure on the pedals. Garmin shows a remaining gradient of 8％ on this stretch of over 10km. So Climbfinder's illustration is a little too enthusiastic. Also, Garmin does show percentages of 11 and 12％ several times and that was also felt. Last stretch to 11％ is up to about 500 metres before parking (also end), so the climb keeps you sweet until the end. Apart from these technical points, a beautiful climb. Beautiful views, generally good road surface (also for descending), coniferous forest and open sections with views and lovely hairpin turns. Relatively little traffic. The climb ends at the car park overlooking the Grand Combin. For mountain bikers, you can cycle even further, but I didn't venture there with the road bike.

Prachtige beklimming en een serieuze kuitenbijter. Vanuit Valpelline naar Doues gefietst en na de route opgepakt. Direct vanuit Valpelline betekent dit vol in de ankers en stevig klimmen. Nadat je op de route bent gekomen, zul je druk op de pedalen moeten houden. Garmin laat op dit stuk van ruim 10km een resterende gradiënt zien van 8％. De afbeelding van Climbfinder is dus iets te enthousiast. Ook laat Garmin toch een aantal maal percentages van 11 en 12％ zien en dat was ook te voelen. Laatste stuk tot 11％ is tot circa 500 meter voor parkeerplaats (tevens einde), dus de klim houdt je tot einde zoet. Los van deze technische punten een prachtige beklimming. Prachtige uitzichten, over het algemeen goed wegdek (ook om te dalen), naaldbos en open stukken met uitzicht en heerlijke haarspeldbochten. Relatief weinig verkeer. De klim eindigt op de parkeerplaats met uitzicht op de Grand Combin. Voor mountainbikers geldt dat je nog verder kunt fietsen, maar daar heb ik me niet aan gewaagd met de racefiets.

Truly a fantastic magnificent climb and highly recommended for anyone staying near the Aosta Valley!!!
Once you drive out of town, it is a fairly quiet road that climbs steadily. After the first 8 kilometres, it becomes extremely quiet and you encounter very little other traffic. The climb then gets a bit trickier, but nowhere really very tough. Meanwhile, there are constantly beautiful views of the mountains around you. Not only do you cycle towards the Grand Combin, you can also spot the Matterhorn along the way (if you pay attention) and you have views of the Gran Paradiso towards the south. Despite being a deserted road, the road surface is good.

Should you still have energy left after the climb, you can (partly) slide down another route to Valpelline and from there add the climbs to Ollomont (another 650 extra altimeters) and/or Lago di Place Moulin (another 1050 extra altimeters).

Echt een fantastische schitterende klim en een aanrader voor iedereen die in de buurt van de Aosta vallei verblijft!!
Zodra je uit de stad rijdt is het een redelijk rustige weg die gestaag omhoog loopt. Na de eerste 8 kilometer wordt het extreem rustig en kom je nog maar heel weinig ander verkeer tegen. De klim wordt dan wel wat lastiger, maar nergens echt heel zwaar. Ondertussen zijn er constant mooie vergezichten op de gebergten om je heen. Niet alleen fiets je richting de Grand Combin, ook is onderweg de Matterhorn te spotten (als je goed oplet) en heb je richting het zuiden uitzichten over de Gran Paradiso. Ondanks dat het een verlaten weg is, is het wegdek goed te noemen.

Mocht je na de klim nog energie overhebben, dan kun je (deels) dia een andere route afdalen naar Valpelline en vanaf daar de klimmen naar Ollomont (nog 650 extra hoogtemeters) en/of Lago di Place Moulin (nog 1050 extra hoogtemeters) er aan vastplakken.

Prachtige rustige klim. Prima wegdek voor een dergelijk afgelegen weggetje. Bij vlagen pittig klimmen, maar nooit absurd zwaar.
