Wow, amazing climb with amazing views of the canyon below. Yes, there is a lot of traffic but I wasnt bothered by it since on windy roads like this people aren’t riding fast. Gradient is nice and steady.... read more

Beautiful but busy climb. Really not easy but really insane views of the gorges de verdon on the way!

Mooie maar drukke beklimming. Echt niet makkelijk maar onderweg wel echt een waanzinnig uitzicht over de gorges de verdon!

Very nice climb, with very nice views over the Verdon and lac-st-croix. Especially early in the morning during high season, it is not yet too busy with traffic. Once at the top, you can descend to La Palud sur Verdon to possibly add rote de crêtes, or you can turn around and end up in a spectucally beautiful descent.

Zeer leuke beklimming, met hele mooie uitzichten over de Verdon en het lac-st-croix. Vooral smorgensvroeg tijdens het hoogseizoen is het nog niet al te druk met het verkeer. Eenmaal boven kun je afdalen naar La Palud sur Verdon om daar eventueel nog rote de crêtes er bij te pakken, of je kunt okeren en in een spectucalaire mooie afdaling terechtkomen.

Nice climb to enter the Verdon, worth it to then enjoy the view of the canyon. First part all in the woods, so great to do in summer when it is very hot.

Cheers

Bella salita per entrare nel Verdon, vale la pena per poi godersi il panorama del canyon. Prima parte tutta nel bosco, quindi ottima da fare d'estate quando fa molto caldo.

Cheers
