Actually one of the nicest climbs in this offshoot of the Luberon mountains.
The start is very hard to find though . The first 500m they were working but no problem. The road surface is very bumpy and rough but after 1 km there is a 40 cm wide asphalt layer on the left side of the road and as I didn't meet anyone I had no problem riding on it which makes it much more pleasant but with my mountain bike no problem anyway. The average gradient of 4% gives a totally distorted view of this climb as there are almost as many strips flat and downhill than uphill which means the uphill sections are between 6 and 8%. Also very nice scenery and lots of turns which makes it pleasant cycling.
Eigenlijk één van de leukste klimmetjes in deze uitloper van het Luberon gebergte.
Het begin is wel zeer moeilijk te vinden . De eerste 500 m waren ze aan het werken maar geen probleem. Het wegdek is wel erg hobbelig en ruw maar na 1 km is er aan de linkerzijde van de weg een 40 cm brede asfaltlaag aangebracht en aangezien ik niemand ben tegengekomen geen probleem omhierop te rijden wat het veel aangenamer maakt maar met mijn mountainbike zowiezo geen probleem. Het gemiddelde stijgingspercentage van 4% geeft een totaal vertekend beeld van deze klim want er zijn bijna zoveel stroken vlak en bergaf dan bergop wat betekent dat de stukken bergop tussen de 6 en 8% zijn. Ook een zeer mooie omgeving en veel bochten wat het aangenaam fietsen maakt.
