Have motorists not discovered it? What I particularly like up there is the austere and majestic rock barrier that shelters the village of La Chalp. Powerful! Telluric!

Powerful! Telluric!
Yes, you definitely have to go to La Chalp.
And then the Parpaillon awaits you!
The descent is brilliant. The bends are quite wide. You convince yourself that the road belongs to you.
J’avais adoré cette ascension depuis Embrun. Elle est aussi excitante depuis Saint André. Cette route si large a été faite pour les cyclistes ? Les automobilistes ne l’ont pas encore découverte ? Ne leur en parlez pas.
Ce que j’aime particulièrement là haut, c’est cette barrière rocheuse austère et majestueuse qui abrite le village de La Chalp.
Puissant ! Tellurique !
Oui, il faut grimper à La Chalp, pas de doute.
Et puis, le Parpaillon vous attend !
La descente est géniale. Les virages sont assez larges. On arrive à se convaincre que la route nous appartient.
What a wonderful climb this is. Nowhere difficult, everywhere beautiful and above all very quiet. I always encounter more cyclists than cars here. Really a must. And as already indicated in both variants of this climb: a wonderful descent!
Wat een heerlijke klim is dit. Nergens pittig, overal mooi en vooral heel erg rustig. Ik kom hier altijd meer fietsers tegen dan auto's. Echt een aanrader. En zoals bij de beide varianten van deze klim al aangegeven: een heerlijke afdaling!
Nice climb to add if you are cycling the balcony route Guillestre - Embrun. The climb slowly winds up to the cute little ski village of Crevoux. The descent is lovely, well laid out and you can look into the road for quite some time to whizz down.
Leuke klim om toe te voegen als je de balkon route Guillestre - Embrun fietst. De klim slingert langzaam omhoog naar het schattige kleine skidorpje Crevoux. De afdaling is heerlijk, goed overzichtelijk en je kan redelijk lang voorruit de weg in kijken om suizend naar beneden te gaan.
