An alternative to the main road. Still quite busy, but some nice views down the valley.

A very pretty and pleasant road! No hesitation, it's the right way to avoid the main road. The scenery is very pleasant. The climb is very gentle indeed.

Probably no one sees this as 'real climb' nevertheless the road goes up quite a bit. It is the perfect way to avoid the busy and quite dangerous RN 94. You get a nice road with nice views in return.
