I did this climb on 22/8/25, leaving at 7am. Great to do: while the sun is rising and everything is waking up. I was lucky that it got very sunny on the climb itself, while in the valley and other climbs there was some fog - great images. Otherwise beautiful scenery, fairly solid climb, very quiet (logical at this early hour). Started from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, so before you start the real climb to "La Toussuire" you've actually climbed 3.5km by then, with almost 300 altimeters... read more

Ik heb deze beklimming gedaan op 22/8/25, vertrokken om 7u. Geweldig om te doen: terwijl de zon opkomt en alles wakker wordt. Ik had geluk dat het op de klim zelf zeer zonnig werd, terwijl in het dal en andere klimmen toch wat mist ging - geweldige beelden. Verder een mooi landschap, redelijk stevige klim, zeer rustig (logisch op dit vroege uur). Vertrokken vanuit Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, dus vooraleer je aan de echte klim naar "La Toussuire" begint, heb je dan eigenlijk al 3,5km geklommen, met bijna 300 hoogtemeters - meteen stevig!
