Made on 24 June 2025 in the fresh air from Beaufort. Like most of the climbs in the sector, this one really starts in the heart of the village of Beaufort. This adds another 2.7 km and a bit more ascent. The Rte is fine until it intersects with the Rte de Plan du Mont, where the steep gradients begin. The magnificent scenery of the Beaufortain and the many switchbacks make you forget the harshness of the effort. On the way back to the valley, you can do the loop via Les Curtillets. ... read more

Fait le 24 juin 2025 à la fraîche depuis Beaufort.
Cette montée comme la plupart de celles du secteur commence réellement au cœur du village de Beaufort.
Ce qui ajoute 2,7 km supplémentaire et un peu plus de dénivelé.
La Rte est bonne jusqu'à l'intersection avec celle de Plan du Mont où commence les forts pourcenatges.
Les paysages magnifiques du Beaufortain ainsi que les très nombreux lacets font oublier la rudesse de l'effort.
Possibilité pour le retour dans la vallée de faire la boucle par les Curtillets .
