A pleasant climb along a patched-up road—then patched up again over the existing patches…
I’m exaggerating: the road surface—or rather, its varying conditions—range from the best (a section that’s been completely redone) to acceptable (numerous patches on this poor stretch of asphalt).
A few tourists are heading up to see the Rouget Waterfall. Traffic is very manageable.
The gradients are never really grueling, but it’s a solid climb.
The Rouget Waterfall, known as “the queen of the Alps,” is 90 meters high and is well worth a quick stop on the way back.
Further up, continuing along Le Lignon, you’ll pass many abandoned farms and chalets.
The cirque and the waterfall are two great hikes not to be missed.
Une montée agréable sur une route rafistolée, puis rafistolée à nouveau sur les rafistolages…
J’exagère : son revêtement ou plutôt ses diverses qualités de revêtement vont du meilleur (tronçon refait à neuf) à de l’acceptable (nombreux pansements sur ce pauvre tarmac).
Quelques touristes qui montent découvrir la cascade du Rouget. Une circulation très supportable.
Les pourcentages ne sont jamais vraiment douloureux, mais, ça grimpe bien.
Cette cascade du Rouget, « la reine des Alpes » mesure 90 mètres et elle méritera bien une courte halte au retour.
Plus haut, en poursuivant sur Le Lignon, on croise beaucoup de fermes et chalets abandonnés.
Le cirque et la cascade sont deux chouettes balades à ne pas manquer.
