Montée entièrement ombragée, ce qui en fait le meilleur accès au plateau Matheysin en été. La pente est régulière, pas de lacets mais des petits virages qui évitent la monotonie. Peu de circulation, heureusement car c'est étroit.

A very pleasant climb through the forest. One short section is steeper, but overall it is easy to climb. Be careful on the way down as it's a narrow road and you can come across lorries (even a caravan once!).

Montée dans la forêt très agréable. Un court passage plus raide mais globalement ça se monte facilement. Attention en descente car c'est une route étroite et on peut y croiser des camionettes (une caravane même une fois!).
