The ascent (via Saumane castle) is good, the gradient accessible, with beautiful houses and scenery all along the way. Good surface.

La montée (en passant par le château de Saumane) est bien, le denivelé accessible, avec de belles maisons et paysages tout du long. Bon revêtement.

A few tough sections, but otherwise steady and doable, nice if you are in the area. Nice bit through the rocks as shown in the photo.

Paar pittige stukjes, voor de rest wel gelijkmatig en te doen, leuk als je in de buurt bent. Mooi stukje door de rotsen zoals te zien op de foto.

The climb itself is not so long, but it should not be underestimated. You never have a view of the top, so your bike computer is the only reference to how far you have gone. After a kilometre, you come across a few loops where you find high rock faces on both sides and can clearly see that the road has been built by drilling through the rock. Quite interesting/imposing.

De klim is op zich niet zo lang, maar valt niet te onderschatten. Zicht op de top heb je nooit, waardoor je fietscomputer de enige referentie is hoe ver je al zit. Na een kilometer kom je een paar lusjes tegen waar je aan beide zijden hoge rotswanden aantreft en goed kunt zien dat de weg is aangelegd door door de rots te boren. Best wel interessant/imposant.
