The laces of Montvernier, Auvergne style, with really terrible gradients, harder than the Pas de Peyrol, not far away.
A must-do if you like steep slopes...

Les" lacets de montvernier" façon Auvergnate avec des pourcentages vraiment terribles, plus dur que le pas de peyrol, non loin.
A faire absolument si vous aimez les pentes raide...

🤯Incredible laces weaving their way through the forest! The regular gradients at each bend are well worth the diversions

🤯Incroyables lacets se faufilant dans la forêt ! Des pourcentages réguliers se dressant à chaque lacets méritent largement le détour
