Hour of climbing with some steep sections. The road surface is renewed and very good. For the descent very good. The descent via Cupelin is a bit less in terms of road surface, but certainly not bad. All in all, the Bettex remains highly recommended!
17/7/23 nogmaals vanaf de voet opgereden. Het stuk waar een dag eerder Wout Poels het verschil maakte op de stukken 16％ zijn pittig maar veelal lekker in de schaduw. Wanneer je uitkomt op de grote D909 sla je rechts en meteen weer links waar het tweede deel van de klim op je wacht.
Uurtje klimwerk met wat steile stukken. Het wegdek is vernieuwd en erg goed. Voor de afdaling erg goed. De afdaling via Cupelin is qua wegdek wat minder, maar zeker niet slecht. Al met al blijft de Bettex een echte aanrader!
Beautiful tough climb which fortunately is not too long. Village at the foot of Saint Gervais les Bains is nice and from there you can immediately start working on the steepest part of the climb. Except for a small part always steep percentages so you have to keep working until you reach the top.
I was there a few years ago during the TdF of which I have added the photos here. Nice to do if you are in the neighborhood, but you miss the entourage of the real famous alpine cols ...
Mooie pittige klim die gelukkig niet al te lang is. Dorpje aan de voet Saint Gervais les Bains is gezellig en vanuit daar kan je meteen even aan de bak op het steilste stuk van de klim. Op een klein stuk na steeds pittige stijgingspercentages waardoor je moet blijven werken tot je boven bent.
Ik was er een aantal jaar geleden tijdens de TdF waarvan ik de foto's hier ook heb toegevoegd. Leuk om te doen als je in de buurt bent, maar je mist natuurlijk wel de entourage van de echte bekende alpencols...
