The gorges at the start are known as the Petits Goulets. This climb used to be much more spectacular at the end, when it took in the authentic Grands Goulets, which are now inaccessible due to the high risk of landslides. The Grands Goulets have since been doubled on the left by this long tunnel, which is practical but insipid.

Les gorges du début s'appellent les Petits Goulets. Cette montée était autrefois beaucoup plus spectaculaire dans son final, quand elle empruntait les authentiques Grands Goulets qui sont maintenant inaccessibles en raison du risque trop élevé d'éboulements. Les Grands Goulets sont depuis doublés sur leur gauche par ce long tunnel, pratique mais insipide.

At the start of the climb, you'll pass through a few small tunnels where bike lighting isn't necessary, and you'll be promptly at the edge of the gorge. Then the climb continues and is never very difficult (I doubt the 9％ posted). At the end you pass through a large 1.7km illuminated tunnel which has a bike lane on the way up, no lights needed, and it's nice and cool. Once you're at the top, all you can do is keep going uphill, either left to St Julien, or right to La Chapelle. The surface is very good and the road is generally wide. This is a rare gateway to the Vercors, but it's not particularly spectacular or difficult. A short distance away, you'll find the road to the Gorges de la Bourne, which is far more interesting.

A départ de la montée, vous passerez par quelques petits tunnels ou l’éclairage du vélo n’est pas nécessaire, et vous serez promptement au bord des gorges. Ensuite la montée continue et n’est jamais très difficile (je doute des 9％ affichés). A la fin vous passerez dans un grand tunnel d’1,7km eclairé et qui dispose d’une bande pour les vélos dans la montée, pas besoin de lumière, et il y fait frais, c’est agréables. Une fois en haut, vous ne pouvez que continuer à monter, à gauche jusqu’à St Julien, ou à droite jusqu’à La Chapelle. Le revêtement est très bon et la route globalement large. Rare porte d’accès au Vercors, elle n’en n’est pas pour autant spécialement spectaculaire ni difficile, à deux encablures de la vous aurez la route des gorges de la Bourne autrement plus intéressante à faire.
