It's enough to make you reconsider your small gear ratios if you've been on the limit during the climb. Crossing the main road after a couple of hundred metres requires a degree of caution in case of passing vehicles, but fortunately traffic is generally fairly light. I can also confirm that there is a beautiful view at the end of this narrow road, at the entrance to the hamlet of Les Chappes. It was well worth the effort.... read more

En effet, sacré raidard ! De quoi faire reconsidérer ses petits braquets si on a été « limite » pendant l'escalade.
La traversée de la route principage après deux cent mètres nécessite une certaine prudence au cas où des véhicules passeraient, mais le trafic y est heureusement assez réduit en général.
Je confirme également pour la très belle vue à la fin de cette petite route, à l'entrée du hameau des Chappes. De quoi nous récompenser de nos efforts.
The first 150 metres are pretty infamous. Then there's a small respite as you cross the secondary road, and then it's back to the steep gradients. Beautiful, unobstructed views of the Chartreuse from the top.
Les 150 premiers mètres sont assez infâmes. On peut ensuite profiter d'un tout petit répit lors de la traversée de la départementale, puis c'est reparti pour des forts pourcentages. Belle vue dégagée sur la Chartreuse d'en haut.
It's steep, no great scenery, just steep gradients.
Effectivement c'est raide, pas de grand paysage, juste des gros pourcentages
