Even climb on good tarmac. Busy lane with lots of trucks, though.

Gelijkmatige klim op goed asfalt. Wel drukke baan met veel vrachtwagens.

A pleasant climb in a beautiful setting. It is steady and presents no particular difficulties. The ascent is on a fine road, a little busy but very wide, so there's no conflict. There is even a cycle lane on the initial section.

Belle montée, agréable et dans un très beau cadre. Elle est régulière et ne présente pas de difficultés particulières. L'ascension se fait sur une belle route, un peu fréquentée mais très large, ce qui fait qu'il n'y a pas de conflit. Il y a même une bande cyclable sur sa partie initiale
