A very short climb done at night after the gentle ascent of the Col des Aravis (I waited for the last rays of sunlight on Mont Blanc). To say the least, the gradients are significantly steeper than on the Aravis… The road sign says only 16%, but I’m more inclined to believe Climbfinder’s detailed profile: 23% over a few meters? Yes! It’s quite a challenge. We start in front of the ice rink. A street in perfect condition, lined with chalets and hotels. At the top, a view of La Cluzaz. A ... read more

A short, steep climb—like a strong espresso: short, but it wakes you up with a jolt!

Très courte montée effectuée de nuit après la douce ascension du col des Aravis (j’ai attendu les derniers rayons de soleil sur le Mont Blanc).
Le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que les pourcentages piquent nettement plus que sur les Aravis…Le panneau de la voirie n’annonce que 16%, mais je crois davantage le profil détaillé de Climbfinder : 23% sur quelques mètres ? Oui ! C’est bien épicé. On démarre devant la patinoire.
Une rue en parfait état, bordée de chalets et d’hôtels. En haut, vue sur La Cluzaz.
Une petite rampe, version expresso serré : petite, mais qui te réveille violemment !
