Not a super difficult climb. Some nice houses vineyards along the route. Very nice views halfway up

It's an irregular climb with gradients of over 8％ on three occasions. It's not long or particularly difficult, but be careful not to burn out too soon. The section of road goes deeper and deeper into the forest and you'll have the chance to see the local goats.

Start the climb via the grand rue, then it is much steeper
