It's a nice climb. It's on a very small tarmac road as far as the farm, where the road turns into a stone building site. I'd advise you not to take your best bike for this climb, otherwise you'll regret it.... read more

The last 700 metres are on a gravel track of varying condition. At times, it's clearly not passable on a road bike.

Les 700 derniers mètres s'effectuent sur une piste de cailloux dont l'état est variable. Parfois, ce n'est clairement pas praticable en vélo de route.

It's a nice climb. It's on a very small tarmac road as far as the farm, where the road turns into a stone building site. I'd advise you not to take your best bike for this climb, otherwise you'll regret it.

La montée est sympa. Elle se fait sur une toute petite route goudronnée jusqu’à la ferme où la route va se transformer en un chantier de pierres. Je vous conseille de ne pas prendre votre plus beau vélo pour cette montée sinon vous allez le regretter.
