Cycled up a short and steep connecting road between the two Col de Croix de Fer routes from St. Jean de Maurienne (August 2022).
After turning off the classic route (D926) in Les Chambons, opposite the bar/restaurant "Speed wheel" , it goes straight up (almost continuously 8%) and after a few hairpin bends almost at the end you pass the small church of La Tour. The climb ends at the T-junction where you join the panoramic Croix de Fer route (D808) one level higher on the mountainside. Magnificent views of the wide surroundings in all directions!
If you are a fan of extra altitude metres, this is your chance.

Korte klimmende verbindingsweg tussen de twee Col de Croix de Fer routes vanuit St. Jean de Maurienne op gefietst (Augustus 2022).
Na het afdraaien van de klassieke route (D926) in Les Chambons, tegenover bar / restaurant "Speed wheel" , gaat het direct stevig bergop (bijna continu 8%) om na enkele haarspeldbochten bijna op het einde te passeren aan het kleine kerkje van La Tour. Klim eindigt op het T- kruispunt waar je terecht komt op de panoramische Croix de Fer route (D808) een verdieping hoger op de bergflank. Prachtige uitzichten op de wijde omgeving in alle rijrichtingen!
Als je fan bent van extra hoogtemeters is dit je kans.
