The first section through the gorge is very beautiful, and you gradually climb out of the valley. From Puyvalador, you ride across a sort of plateau where the wind blows freely, and with a headwind, the stretch from there to the summit is quite challenging.
While the first part has very little traffic, it’s clearly busier from Puyvalador onward, and because the road here is a series of straight stretches, drivers really tear it up. The final straight stretch was a struggle against the headwind.
The climb isn’t difficult; it’s just very, very long.
Het eerste deel door de gorge is erg mooi, en langzaam klim je dan het dal uit. Vanaf Puyvalador rijdt je over een soort hoogvlakte waar de wind vrij spel heeft, en met tegenwind is het vanaf daar tot aan de top flink lastig.
Waar het eerste deel heel weinig verkeer heeft, is het vanaf Puyvalador duidelijk drukker, en omdat de weg hier een aaneenschakeling is van rechte stukken wordt er behoorlijk gescheurd. Het laatste rechte stuk was een worsteling tegen de wind in.
De klim is niet moeilijk, hij is alleen héél erg lang.
