Le Mont Rochard......Yes ....without more, if you want to go as far as the television relay station (in a sort of deserted barracks), you will have 100 metres to 18％ to finish with a mountain bike access, allow 34X25 the final access is full of gravel and small branches of fir trees). The rest of the ascent via Izé or Sainte Gemmes is accessible .......ca not worth the diversions!... read more

Le Mont Rochard......Oui ....sans plus, si vous voulez aller jusqu'au relais télévision ( dans une espèce de caserne désertée ), vous aurez 100 mètres à 18％ pour finir par un accès VTT, prévoyez 34X25 l'accès final est plein de graviers et petites branches de sapins ).
Le reste de l'ascension par Izé ou Sainte Gemmes est accessible .......ca ne mérite pas de détour !

Well... The most difficult climb in the Pays de la Loire region. Well... What can I say? It is not the climber's paradise.
The landscapes are soft. The climb only looks like a climb for the last km. The last section in the undergrowth is very pleasant and it climbs a little.
At the top, no view. Just a TV tower antenna. To be done if you are in the area.

Bon… L’ascension la plus difficile de la région Pays de la Loire. Bon… Que dire ? Ce n’est pas le paradis des grimpeurs.
Les paysages sont doux. L’ascension ne ressemble à une ascension que sur le dernier km. Le dernier tronçon en sous bois est très agréable et ça grimpe un peu.
En haut, pas de vue. Juste une tour de télévision antenne. À faire si vous êtes dans le coin.
