Prachtige, superzware klim gereden in l'Etape du Tour. Klein smal weggetje met absurde stijgingspercentages. Je eindigt op de Plateau des Glieres, een mooie hoogvlakte met een grote geschiedenis van verzet in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Goede grindweg bovenin die geen bijzondere uitrusting nodig maakt. Een licht verzet is essentieel
So what can we say about this climb. It's horrible, indigestible because of the percentages offered, nothing below 9 ％, regular passages at 13, 14 ％ including a passage at 18 ％ where the slope lays you on the bike. The last two kilometres before the plateau and the Gravel section are at 12 and 13 ％ average gradient. Beware of indigestion ^^ Once at the top you'll be happy and proud to have made this ascent, which for me is one of the most difficult in Haute Savoie.
Alors que dire de cette ascension. Elle est horrible, indigeste par les pourcentages proposés rien en dessous de 9 ％, des passages réguliers à 13, 14 ％ dont un passage à 18 ％ ou la pente vous couche sur le vélo. Les deux derniers kms avant le replat et la partie Gravel sont à 12 et 13 ％ de pente moyenne. Gare à l'indigestion ^^ Une fois en haut vous êtes heureux et fier d'avoir fait cette ascension qui pour moi est une des plus difficile de Haute Savoie
