Nice, tough climb from Beaufort, but the last 2.3 km are not accessible with an Rte bike because of the trail.

Nice climb. Mostly in the forest. Worth doing if you're in the area. Can go to Areches on the return.

Nice, few cars, but you need a gravel bike to get to the top. The road becomes a track 1.5km from the finish.
