A short climb on a very quiet road of fairly good quality. The profile doesn't seem right to me, the road is more like 5km for 300m of ascent. This gives an average percentage closer to 6% than 7.6%. You need to follow the D287 and then the D287a, and not the route shown on the map, as the latter path is blocked due to a landslide. The climb offers lovely views of the Chartreuse and Grésivaudan mountains, as well as the Bauges.... read more

Petite ascension sur une route très calme et d'assez bonne qualité. Le profil ne me semble pas correct, la route fait plutôt 5km pour 300m de dénivelé. Cela donne un pourcentage moyen plus proche de 6% que 7,6%. Il faut suivre la D287 puis la D287a, et non pas le parcours indiqué sur la carte, car le dernier chemin est barré pour cause d'éboulement. La montée offre une jolie vue sur la Chartreuse et le Grésivaudan, ainsi que les Bauges.
