Be careful on the descent: the surface is in fairly poor condition. It's a difficult climb with high gradients, which makes it quite unique in the region. There are no hairpins and lots of straights: it's a sort of "mini Puy de Dôme in reverse" (you don't go round a mountain, you come out of a crater). In a unique environment, you won't be bothered by traffic as only service vehicles pass along this route. I made the climb in March, but I don't know if it'... read more

Be careful on the descent: the surface is in fairly poor condition. It's a difficult climb with high gradients, which makes it quite unique in the region. There are no hairpins and lots of straights: it's a sort of "mini Puy de Dôme in reverse" (you don't go round a mountain, you come out of a crater). In a unique environment, you won't be bothered by traffic as only service vehicles pass along this route. I made the climb in March, but I don't know if it's possible all year round with the activity at the leisure park. A must-do if you're in the area!

Attention lors de la descente : le revêtement est en assez mauvais état. Il s'agit d'une montée difficile aux pourcentages élevés, ce qui la rend assez unique dans la région. Pas d'épingle et beaucoup de ligne droite : on est sur une sorte de "mini Puy de Dôme inversé" (on ne tourne pas autour d'une montagne, on sort d'un cratère). Dans un environnement unique, vous ne serez pas gênés par la circulation car seuls des véhicules de service passent sur cette route. Ascension faite en mars, je ne sais pas si elle est faisable tout au long de l'année avec l'activité du parc de loisirs. À faire absolument si vous êtes dans le coin !
