It's a road I've often taken in both directions, back when the corbelled passage through the Ecouges canyon - the part lined by the tunnel - was still open. I don't think there was a road in the whole of the Vercors, and perhaps in the whole of the French Alps, as vertiginous as this one.

It's a road I've often taken in both directions, back when the corbelled passage through the Ecouges canyon - the part lined by the tunnel - was still open. I don't think there was a road in the whole of the Vercors, and perhaps in the whole of the French Alps, as vertiginous as this one.

Today, unfortunately, you have to go through the tunnel - which, incidentally, had no lighting for a very long time. It's still a very beautiful and spectacular climb, but the highlight has unfortunately disappeared...

Une route que j'ai souvent empruntée dans les deux sens, du temps où le passage en encorbellement du canyon des Ecouges — la partie doublée par le tunnel — était encore ouvert. Je crois qu'il n'y avait pas dans tous le Vercors, et peut-être dans toutes les Alpes françaises, de passage routier aussi vertigineux qu'à cet endroit.

Aujourd'hui il faut malheureusement passer par le tunnel — qui d'ailleurs est resté non éclairé pendant très longtemps. Cela reste une montée très belle et très spectaculaire, mais le clou du spectacle a malheureusement disparu…

Stunning climb. Forests, gorges cliffs and waterfalls all add to the experience. Dipping under the waterfall you have to wonder how the road gets to the cliff 100m above you. And 10％ inside a tunnel is a disorientating experience. A must do climb.
