I really enjoyed this climb through the heart of the forest. The road is not very wide but there are very few cars. Correct route sheltered from the wind and sun. The start is horrible with a 200m passage with 15％-20％ a slight descent and then you attack the mountain.... read more

J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé cette montée au coeur de la forêt. La route est pas très large mais peu de voiture. Route correct à l'abri du vent et du soleil. Le début est horrible avec un passage de 200m avec 15％-20％ une légère descente et puis on attaque dans la montagne

A pretty climb, relatively demanding for my level but which allows you to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Extremely busy, especially with cars and motorbikes at weekends.

Une jolie montée, relativement exigeante pour mon niveau mais qui permet de profiter de la nature autour. Extrêmement fréquenté notamment par les voitures et motos le week end.
