Very nice climb. A beautiful view on the valley at the beginning then laces in the forest. 2 descending passages to recover, and percentages accessible to all. For the furious, prefer the climb from Arbin...... read more

The slope is sometimes a little steep in the first part, as it is uneven, but it is never long. There are 2 descents and a few flat areas, and the section leading up to Curienne is partly wooded and therefore shaded. At the start, the view quickly opens up over Belledonne, the Dent du Chat and above all the Granier, which often accompanies us on the ascent. The view of the interior of the Bauges massif enhances the rest of the climb. The road was surprisingly quiet (on a weekday morning in August) and the surface was fine.

La pente est parfois un peu soutenue dans sa première partie, car irrégulière, mais ce n'est jamais long. Il y a 2 redescentes et quelques replats, et la partie pour arrivée à Curienne est en partie en forêt donc ombragée. Au départ la vue se dégage vite sur Belledonne, la Dent du Chat et surtout le Granier, qui nous accompagne très souvent pendant l'ascension. La vue sur l'intérieur du massif des Bauges agrémente la suite de la montée. La route était étonnamment calme (un matin en semaine du mois d'août) et le revêtement correct.

Montée très sympathique. Une belle vue sur la vallée au départ puis lacets dans la forêt.
2 passages descendants pour récupérer, et pourcentages accessibles à tous. Pour les furieux, préférer la montée depuis Arbin...
