The first km is really gravel. Broken road and big holes. You have to choose your track carefully with the road bike. It's already a steep climb. Then the road is quite passable but the slopes are very steep. On the other hand the landscapes are magnificent.

Le premier km est vraiment gravel. Route défoncée et des gros trous. Il faut bien choisir sa trace avec le vélo de route. Ça monte déjà fort. Ensuite la chaussée est tout à fait praticable mais les pentes sont très raides. Par contre les paysages sont magnifiques. Vous pourrez les admirer à la descente car la route se termine en cul de sac arrivé en haut à l'antenne.

Just climbed. Spicy! The first 1km of the climb is very bad road surface even though it is already 12％ there. And you have to go down there again. Further on it is okay. But steep parts. Beautiful views.
Zojuist beklommen. Pittig! De eerste 1km van de klim is zeer slecht wegdek ondanks dat het daar al 12％ is. En je moet daar ook weer naar beneden. Verderop gaat wel. Maar wel steile stukken. Mooie uitzichten.
