For an inexperienced climber like me, a nice climb. Nice environment, nice lake when you are almost at the top. Busy with local French cyclists, little or no car traffic and good road surface. The other way up is steeper.... read more

Voor een onervaren klimmer als ik een leuke klim. Mooie omgeving, leuk meertje als je bijna boven bent. Druk met lokale Franse wielrenners, weinig tot geen auto verkeer en goed wegdek. De andere kant omhoog is steiler.
