5.0 by GogsThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: English.Really nice, moderate climb with nice views in places back down the valley. Gradient doesn't seem to change much and the surface is good except at the very top. Traffic can be heavier towards the bottom but by Levron its almost all gone, despite the buvette at the summit.... read more

At 3 a.m. on the Tour des Stations, the climb was very atmospheric, and the gravel section on the crest can also be ridden well with 28er road bike tires.
Nachts um 3 Uhr bei der Tour des Stations war der Anstieg sehr stimmungsvoll, die Gravelpassage auf der Kuppe lässt sich auch mit 28er Rennradreifen gut fahren.
Beautiful climb, easily linked with others in the area or nice as a stand-alone. Top section is unpaved but very manageable on a road bike, even on 25mm tires in the dark. Some caution needed on the first few KMs of the descent on the other side as these are also gravel but overall very achievable and lovely ride
Climbed up via Col des Planches from Martigny. From the col, the road is unpaved and, in dry, sunny conditions, probably a beautiful route. Unfortunately, this time I was unlucky that it was grey and rainy.
Klim naar boven geklauterd via Col des Planches vanuit Martigny. Vanaf de col is de weg onverhard en in droge, zonnige omstandigheden allicht een prachtige route. Helaas had ik dit keer de pech dat het grijs en regenachtig was.
Nice first climb of Tour des stations. Which actually starts in Volleges. On top few km of gravel. Careful with the first few metres of descent but then stunning views over the valley at Sion5
Mooie eerste klim van Tour des stations. Die eigenlijk in Volleges begint. Bovenop paar km gravel. Oppassen met de eerste meters afdalen maar daarna schitterende uitzichten over het dal bij Sion5
