Better than going round the city on the main roads. It’s something of a wall. I would like to see a TdF stage either ride the Lauteret or the valley from Gap and finish on the top of the long straight with a reduced bunch sprint.... read more

Nice climb in 2 stages to reach the cité Vauban. A wall at the start, 11-12%, then as you turn the corner it becomes gentler.

Belle montée en 2 temps pour arriver à la cité Vauban. Un mur au début 11-12 % puis au tournant ca devient plus doux

Very tough climb in the middle of Briancon, where you get quite a bit enriched. Heavy with traffic, duss not really pretty. Nice view of the citadel you climb to, though. Moderate road surface with potholes.

Zeer pittige klim midden in Briancon, waar je je flink op verrijkt. Druk met verkeer, duss niet echt mooi. Wel een mooi uitzicht op de citadel waar je naartoe klimt. Matig wegdek met gaten.

Yes, indeed, and a great way to explore the centre of Briançon. A real wall in the town centre. It climbs steeply and the motorists carry on with their lives as motorists...
At the top, nothing. So you continue towards the Granon, the Lautaret or the Croix de Toulouse or..., or all the others...

Oui, effectivement et une belle façon d’aborder et de découvrir le centre de Briançon. Un vrai mur en centre ville. Il grimpe fort et les automobilistes continuent leur vie d’automobilistes…
En haut, rien. Alors, on poursuit vers le Granon, le Lautaret ou la Croix de Toulouse ou…, ou tous les autres…

In the middle of the city of Briançon: everyone can share in your suffering. Because that's what you're going to do. It is steep, the road is pretty bad (summer 2021) and you also have to watch out for cars parked, overtaking you and driving down. Still, it's a fun climb and a nice way to head towards the Galibier or Montgenèvre. If you are near Briançon and are looking for a climb somewhere above Briançon, you should do this climb.

Midden in de stad van Briançon: iedereen kan meegenieten van je lijden. Want dat ga je doen. Het is steil, de weg is vrij slecht (zomer 2021) en je moet ook goed opletten op auto's die geparkeerd staan, die je inhalen en die naar beneden rijden. Toch is het een leuke klim en een mooie manier om richting de Galibier of de Montgenèvre te gaan. Als je in de buurt van Briançon bent en ergens boven Briançon een beklimming zoekt, dan moet je deze klim eens doen.
