Not so easy…
The first part of the climb is the road to the Petit Saint Bernard Pass. A long stretch of this road has been recently repaved. Thanks for this smooth as a billiard table surface. The gradients are as gentle and soothing as the road itself.
And then, we turn left toward Saint Germain, and that’s when the real work begins. We leave the heavy traffic of the D1090 behind. The road surface deteriorates considerably as the gradients suddenly become steep. A mix of fairly steep climbs and welcome flat stretches. Three beautiful switchbacks. Cows. Beautiful hairpin turns.
From Mont Villaret, the view of the valley isn’t half bad. 4 stars (admittedly a bit generous) for its irregular gradients and switchbacks.
Pas si facile…
La première partie de l’ascension, c’est la route du col du Petit Saint Bernard. Un long tronçon de cette route a été rénové récemment. Merci pour ce joli tapis de billard. Des pourcentages aussi doux et caressants que la route.
Et puis, on bifurque à gauche en direction de Saint Germain et là, les affaires sérieuses commencent. On quitte la circulation intense de la D1090. La route se dégrade considérablement alors que les pourcentages s’affolent subitement. Une alternance de raidards plutôt costauds et de replats plutôt bienvenus. Trois belles cascades. Des vaches. De belles épingles.
Depuis le Mont Villaret, la vue sur la vallée n’est pas moche. 4 étoiles (tout de même un peu généreuses) pour ses pourcentages irréguliers et pour ses cascades.
Made on the morning of May 27.
The real slopes begin when we leave the Rte du Petit St Bernard, and I find the climb more difficult than the profile suggests.
The road is narrow and the asphalt is fine, and on a hot day, a few passages in the shade are beneficial.
After the hamlet of Mont Villaret, 2.5km remain on a very narrow road in average condition.
There are hardly any cars, and the scenery is magnificent.
Fait le 27 Mai au matin.
Les véritables pentes commencent lorsque l'on quitte la Rte du Petit St Bernard, je trouve l'ascension plus difficile que le profil ne laisse présager.
La chaussée est étroite et le bitume correct, par de fortes chaleurs, quelques passages à l'ombre sont bienfaisants .
Après le hameaux de Mont Villaret il reste 2,5km sur une Rte très étroite et en état moyen.
Quasiment aucune voiture et les paysages sont magnifiques.
