It's a very long climb, but not a very difficult one. If you count the false flats and slight descents, you've already taken 2/3 off the climb. The climb didn't leave me with an imperishable memory, but the summit is really beautiful, with icroyable views from everywhere. It's worth noting that you pass the Col du Perjret, the Col de Foruques and that the summit hides the Col de Trépaloup.... read more

C'est une montée très longue mais vraiment peu difficile. Si on décompte les faux plats, les legeres redescentes on & déja retiré 2/.3 de la montée.
La montée ne m'a pas laissé un souvenir imperissable mais le sommet est vraiment beau avec une vue icroyable de partout.
A noter qu'on franchit au passage le col du perjret, le col de foruques et que le sommet cache le col de trépaloup.

Went early in the morning so it was still fairly quiet on the road then.
Views of Mont Aigoual remain fantastic!

Vroeg in de ochtend gegaan dus toen was het nog redelijk rustig op de weg.
Uitzicht op de Mont Aigoual blijft fantastisch!

Very long, but not steep climb. From Meyrueis, first 12 km to the Col de Perjuret and then another 14 km to Mont Aigoual. A two-stage rocket, then. A nice runner though with percentages between 3 and 6％. If the view is clear then the view from Mont Aigoual is worthwhile

Hele lange, maar geen steile beklimming. Vanuit Meyrueis eerst 12 km naar de Col de Perjuret en dan nog eens 14 km naar Mont Aigoual. Een tweetrapsraket dus. Wel een lekker loper met percentages tussen de 3 en 6％. Als het zicht helder is dan is het uitzicht vanaf Mont Aigoual de moeite waard

Ascent of Mont Aigoual which, in the book De Renner (Krabbé), is the final descent, to the finish in Meyrueis. It is a true by-pass descent and thus a long, not particularly steep climb, but not particularly steady, as it has many irregularities in gradient.

Beklimming van de Mont Aigoual die in het boek De Renner (Krabbé) de laatste afdaling is, naar de meet in Meyrueis. Het is een echte bijtrapafdaling en dus een lange, weinig steile beklimming, maar niet bepaald gestaag, want met veel onregelmatigheden in hellingsgraad.

Climb that via the landmark col Perjuret (according to Tim Krabbé) to Mont Aigoual. It is a climb with beautiful views, but there are many in this area, that goes nicely. It is not entirely smooth but it does not get really steep anywhere.

Klim die via de bezienswaardige col Perjuret (volgens Tim Krabbé) naar de Mont Aigoual. Het is een klim met mooie uitzichten, maar dat zijn er vele in deze omgeving, die lekker loopt. Helemaal gelijkmatig is ie niet maar echt steil wordt ie nergens.
