If you want to feel like a real professional climber you should do this climb. Like a rocket you can climb to the top (just forget that this is due to the friendly slopes). Just go full throttle and the kilometers fly by. Every km you can see what awaits you the next km. Most of the time it will be 5% max, except for 2 km which are a bit steeper. You still have time and energy to wave to some other cyclists, in the mountains you are all friends after all!... read more

A nice climb and friendly to the legs. The road is good and wide, little traffic.
Coming from Port de Lers or having descended it first? Then you can grab another cup of coffee with a sweet treat in Massat at the foot of the climb.

Een lekkere klim en vriendelijk voor de benen. De weg is goed en breed, weinig verkeer.
Kom je vanuit Port de Lers of heb je deze eerst afgedaald? Dan kun je in Massat aan de voet van de klim nog een kopje koffie met een zoete versnapering pakken.

Als je je een echte proffesionele klimmer wil voelen dan moet je deze klim doen. Als een raket kun je naar boven klimmen (even vergeten dat dat komt door de vriendeijke hellingspercentages). Lekker vol gas er tegen aan en de kilometers vliegen onder je door. Elke km kun je zien wat je eerstvolgende km te wachten staat. Meestal is dat max 5%, op 2 km na die iets steiler zijn. Je hebt nog tijd en energie om te zwaaien naar wat andere fietsers , in de bergen ben je tenslotte allemaal vrienden!
