A very nice, very quiet climb, a little demanding at the end. The view at the finish is splendid!

Très belle montée, très calme, un peu exigeante sur la fin. Le panorama à l'arrivée est splendide !

My favourite slope, quite a hard start, especially in winter like the last time I climbed it with my second club and a good stomach bug that day. Then a flat area where we pick up speed, before the steep final stretch to reach the car park, circling the Roche Sanadoire and Tullière, two pieces of the Puy de Sancy ejected by a cataclysmic eruption 180 000 years ago.

Mon versant préféré, début assez dur, notamment en hiver comme la dernière fois que je l'ai grimpé avec mon second club et une bonne gastro ce jour là. Puis replat où on reprend de la vitesse, avant le final pentu pour arriver au parking en ceinturant la Roche Sanadoire et Tullière, deux morceaux du Puy de Sancy éjecter par une éruption cataclysmique, il y a 180 000 ans.
