A quite irregular climb, with many magnificent views, especially when descending to Montpeyroux, but also a fantastic panoramic view of Pégairolles-de-Buèges if you look back! There are some very steep sections, up to around 15％ if I trust my data, followed by short flat sections and/or small descents that skew the avg grade a bit. The climb ends with a tricky 11％ hairpin with some loose gravel. A bit further down the road there is small facility with drinking water and with tools to servi... read more

Nice climb with some beautiful views. Halfway through the climb there is a small descent which brings the average percentage down. Road surface is good enough to climb but the descent to Montpeyroux is not always good. There are many pebbles on the road and the asphalt is bumpy. The last few hundred meters are the steepest.

Mooie beklimming met enkele prachtige uitzichten. Halverwege de klim zit er een klein stukje afdaling in waardoor het gemiddelde stijgingspercentage naar beneden wordt gehaald. Wegdek is goed genoeg om te klimmen maar de afdaling naar Montpeyroux ligt er niet altijd even goed bij. Er liggen veel kiezels op de weg en het asfalt is hobbelig. De laatste honderden meters zijn het steilste.
