Quite a tough climb on the first part to the bottieres, with a number of woodland sections to keep you cool.

Montée assez difficile sur la première partie pour aller jusqu'aux bottieres, avec de nombreux passages en forêt qui permet d'avoir un peu de fraîcheur.

Nice climb on less tarmac but certainly not rotten bad but it is in the sun a lot in high temperatures like mine it is difficult it is from Saint Jean de maurienne via pancrace 16.9 and not 13.9 km as it says here but it is a nice climb

Mooie klim op een minder asfalt maar zeker niet rot slecht maar het ligt wel veel in de zon bij hoge temperaturen zoals bij mij is het lastig het is vanuit Saint Jean de maurienne via pancrace 16,9 en geen 13,9 km zoals hier staat maar het is wel een mooie klim

Because this side of the climb has more climbing points than the more popular route, I took this side. More than worth it! Nice climb, much quieter (considering the descent I did via the alternative), good road surface... I like riding alone through the woods and hear nothing but my own plodding, birds and silence. For the rest, just a tough climb, but because of the easy middle part very doable. On top of La Toussiere, the village is bustling, a nice lunch and onwards again...

Doordat deze kant van de klim meer klimpunten heeft dan de populairdere route deze kant genomen. Meer dan de moeite waard! Leuke klim, stuk rustiger (gezien de afdaling die ik via het alternatief heb gedaan), prima wegdek... Ik hou er wel van om alleen door de bossen te rijden en niets anders te horen dan mijn eigen geploeter, vogels en stilte. Verder gewoon een pittige klim, maar door het makkelijke middenstuk heel goed te doen. Bovenop La Toussiere bruist het dorpje, leuk lunchen en weer door dus...
