This is by far the nicest way to climb to the Col des Ayes. The road is narrow but in good condition with very little traffic. Sheltered by trees alternates with a few open stretches where you can see down into the Isère valley. You pass through the picturesque village of Hurtière where drinking water is available. Steady percentages until just before the summit!... read more

This is by far the nicest way to climb to the Col des Ayes. The road is narrow but in good condition with very little traffic. Sheltered by trees alternates with a few open stretches where you can see down into the Isère valley. You pass through the picturesque village of Hurtière where drinking water is available.

Dit is veruit de mooiste manier om naar de Col des Ayes te klimmen. De andere twee manieren vanuit Froges en Ten in zijn druk en minder beschut. Hier is de weg smal maar in goede staat met zeer weinig verkeer. Beschutting door bomen wisselt af met een paar open stukken waar je tot beneden in de vallei van de Isère kan kijken. Je passeert door het pittoreske dorpje Hurtière waar drinkwater beschikbaar is. Gelijkmatige percentages tot vlak voor de top!
