Deze klim moet je er gewoon bijnemen als je terugkomt van de barrage d'emosson. Niets aan te doen ... niets speciaal aan ... geen mooi zicht behalve boven dan ...
I did this climb while bikepacking from Cluses towards Martigny. I thought this climb was fine. There is indeed some traffic, but I didn't find it distracting. It is really a runner and leads through a nice forest with views of the surrounding mountains here and there. The descent on the other side of the Forclaz is terribly fast, great fun!
Ik heb deze klim gedaan tijdens een bikepacking van Cluses richting Martigny. Ik vond deze klim wel prima. Er is inderdaad wat verkeer, maar ik vond het niet storend. Het is echt een loper en voert door een mooi bos met her en der zicht op de omringende bergen. De afdaling aan de andere kant van de Forclaz is vreselijk snel, dikke fun!
Ridden this climb on the way back towards Martigny, after first climbing Barrage Emosson. This climb is not very special and is probably only a connecting route.
Deze klim op de terugweg gereden richting Martigny, na eerst Barrage Emosson beklommen te hebben. Deze klim is weinig bijzonder en pak je allicht enkel mee als verbindingsweg.
Short climb with a water stop in Trient, nothing too difficult. Traffic might be a no-no, on the same day I had two close calls with an incoming car that was attempting a pass — going in both directions and in the same spot (between Trient and Châtelard).
The descent towards Martigny is worthwhile, though: great views and great road.
