The climb was easygoing and offered beautiful views of the valley and Mont Blanc. It was a short challenge with a few steeper sections, but otherwise manageable. The pavement is a bit rough in some places.

De klim was rustig en had mooie uitzichten op het dal en de Mont Blanc. Een korte uitdaging met een paar steilere stukken maat verder goed te doen. Het asfalt is op sommige plekken wat slechter.
