The road is long and never-ending! The surface isn't good, but it's good enough for a road bike, and it's even more problematic for the descent than for the ascent. At the very top, you are blocked by the road, which turns into a path and there is no view. There is a view a little before the top of the climb, but it offers rare and beautiful views over the Chapelle valley and the Grand Goulet. You are sheltered by the trees for most of the way.

The road is long and never-ending! The surface isn't good, but it's good enough for a road bike, and it's even more problematic for the descent than for the ascent. At the very top, you are blocked by the road, which turns into a path and there is no view. There is a view a little before the top of the climb, but it offers rare and beautiful views over the Chapelle valley and the Grand Goulet. You are sheltered by the trees for most of the way. For the area that is the Vercors, it's not worth a diversion given all the D+ you can do next door.

La route est longue et n’en fini pas ! Le revêtement n’est pas bon mais suffisant pour un vélo de route, c’est même plus problématique pour la descente que pour la montée. Tout en haut on est bloqué par la route qui se transforme en chemin et il n’y a pas de vue, celle ci se trouve un peu avant le haut de la montée et donne cependant des belles et rares perspectives sur la vallée de la chapelle et sur les grand goulet. On est abrité par les arbres quasiment tout du long. Pour le coin qu’est le Vercors, ça ne vaut pas un détour vu tout le D+ que vous pouvez faire à côté.
