During our motorhome trip to Italy, this was a great opportunity to test the legs for the first climbing kilometres. The ride starts quietly in Epagny and the percentages then increase noticeably into the double digits. Alternately, you ride through sun and shade sections and beautiful views. The final section continues nicely until the Moleson gondola.

Tijdens onze camperreis naar Italie, was dit een mooie gelegenheid om de benen te testen voor de eerste klimkilometers. De rit begint rustig in Epagny en de percentages lopen daarna merkbaar op tot in de dubbele cijfers. Afwisselend rij je door zon- en schaduwgedeeltes en mooie vergezichten. Het laatste deel loopt lekker door tot aan de gondel van Moleson.
