It’s true, this little road has a few bumps! But nothing too bad at all. Not even on the descent. And some sections are absolutely flawless. Above all, this little road is really cute. It’s short but pretty challenging. The gradients don’t let up for a single moment. And they’re as varied as you could hope for. It’s diverse. You won’t get bored. Not just because it’s short.

It’s diverse. You won’t get bored. Not just because it’s short. Beautiful views. A waterfall. Cows everywhere. Some really nice hairpin turns. The destination village, Le Planay Dessous, is truly charming, while the starting village (Sainte Foy Tarentaise) is really nice.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this ride.

C’est vrai, elle a quelques varices, cette petite route ! Mais rien de rédhibitoire du tout. Même lors de la descente. Et puis certains tronçons sont absolument impeccables.
Elle est surtout très mignonne, cette petite route.
C’est court mais plutôt salé. Les pourcentages ne rigolent pas un seul instant. Et ils sont irréguliers à souhait.
C’est varié. On ne s’ennuie pas. Pas seulement parce que c’est court. De jolies vues. Une cascade. Des vaches un peu partout. De très belles épingles. Le village de destination, Le Planay Dessous est franchement charmant, pendant que le village de départ (Sainte Foy Tarentaise) est franchement sympa.
Vraiment, j’ai bien aimé cette balade.

Very hard and steep climb. The road isn't optimal.
