One of my favourite climbs during my 10 days in the Jura. For the average percentage, the landscapes, the laces. And then, at the top, this stone orientation table from another time!... read more

Nice climb. Rather cool to do, nice landscape and view on Pontarlier during the laces. The highest gradients are in the part in the forest with the rocks. For the last 50 m there are no paved roads, you have to carry your bike (if you have a road bike). But when you arrive at the orientation table you have a wonderful view.

Montée sympa. Plutôt Cool à faire beaux paysage et vue sur Pontarlier pendant les lacets. Les pourcentages les plus élevées se trouve dans la portions dans la Forêt avec des Rochers. Pour les 50 dernier m il n'y à pas de routes goudronnées il faut y aller en portant le vélo (s'y vous à vélo de routes). Mais arrivée à la tables d'orientation vue magnifiques.
