A magnificent climb, a must at the end of October, when the vines take on their autumnal hues. It's very irregular, and many variations are possible in the hamlets. It is best to take the main route from the church in Létra. The passage through the forest just before the Joncin can be slippery in wet or cold weather, so take care (especially if you do it downhill).... read more

A magnificent climb, a must at the end of October, when the vines take on their autumnal hues.

It's very irregular, and many variations are possible in the hamlets. It is best to take the main route from the church in Létra.

The passage through the forest just before the Joncin can be slippery in wet or cold weather, so take care (especially if you do it downhill).

Montée magnifique, à faire absolument fin Octobre, au moment où les vignes prennent leurs teintes d'automne.

C'est très irrégulier, et beaucoup de variantes sont possibles dans les hameaux. Préférez la route "principale" qui part de l'église de Létra.

Le passage dans la forêt juste avant le Joncin peut être glissant par temps humide ou froid, attention (surtout si vous le faites en descente)

A nice little climb, quite physical, with some good assaults, especially at the start in the village of Letra. Some shady sections.

Belle petite montée, assez physique.Des bons coups de cul, surtout au départ dans le village de Letra. Quelques passages ombragés.
