Very nice, not too busy but not in perfect condition and not very wide.

Lovely running climb, starts with a steep bit, but is otherwise pretty even. Nowhere really steep. The road surface is good. Nice climb because it borders the valley, therefore beautiful views!

A steady climb, never too steep, which allows you to set a good pace.
Very good tarmac.
You're cool in the forest, count the hairpins (6 at the bottom, 6 at the top) and the 12 km go by fairly quickly.
