This is indeed a hidden gem and especially the first four kilometres which average around 9％. The second part flattens out a lot. Even in mid-July, it was not crowded and could be climbed quietly

Dit is inderdaad een verborgen juweeltje en met name de eerste vier kilometer die gemiddeld rond de 9％ is. Het tweede deel vlakt erg af. Ook in midden juli was het niet druk en kon er rustig geklommen worden

Beautiful climb with stunning views of Gorge de Tarn and village of Malène. First 4 kilometres is tough.

Prachtige klim met schitterend zicht op Gorge de Tarn en dorp Malène. Eerste 4 kilometer is pittig. Vij smalle weg. In t voorseizoen best rustig. Mooi te combineren met spectaculaire afdaling wat verderop naar Les Vignes (of andersom) en dan door het dal weer terug. Of met klim aan de andere kant van de Gorge en via Point Sublime weer terug naar Malène.

This is a brilliant piece of craftsmanship, built by the asphalt manufacturer. What a fairy tale, although I don't have the speed to take the ideal position for it on the bike up. The advantage of so many
The advantage of so many hairpins is that you keep a nice view on the Gorges du Tarn. And that you can reward yourself
And that you can reward yourself with a refreshing dive after the descent.

Dit is een briljant stukje vakmanschap wat aangelegd is door de asfalteerder. Wat een kuipbochten, alhoewel ik er op de fiets omhoog er niet de snelheid voor haal om daar de ideale houding voor te nemen. Het voordeel van zoveel
haarspeldbochten is dat je continu mooi zicht houdt op de Gorges du Tarn. En dat je jezelf
dus na de afdaling kunt belonen op een frisse duik.
