Some very steep sections at the beginning but then very even. Still a lot of traffic for this road I found. If you have wider tyres and still energy left, you can continue on a very rough gravel road for a few kilometres. There you have a nice view of the Alps.... read more

The first part, as far as the hamlet of Savoyere, is mostly in the shade. The gradient is fairly constant, around 8％ to 9％. At Savoyere you turn left to take the ascent to Saint Ange. The road winds its way up the mountainside and sometimes offers very fine views of the Grenoble Valley and Belledonne.

La première partie, jusqu'au hameau de Savoyere est le plus souvent à l'ombre. La pente est assez constante , autour de 8％ à 9％. A Savoyere on tourne à gauche pour prendre la montée de Saint Ange. La route serpente à flan de montagne et offre parfois de très beaux points de vue sur la Vallée grenobloise et Belledonne.

In het begin een paar zeer steile stukken maar dan heel gelijkmatig. Nog veel verkeer voor deze weg vond ik. Als je bredere banden en nog energie over hebt, kan je over een zeer ruwe gravelweg nog een paar kilometer verder rijden. Daar heb je een mooi uitzicht over de Alpen.

Did climb last summer. Sweltering hot day and this one is almost completely in forest. So nice climb when it's hot. At the top it becomes a dense dark forest on the edge of the Vercors. Start just out of the village very steep. Then constant but reasonable percentages as indicated in the cross section. Very quiet with an occasional car and cyclist. Occasional views but mostly forest. The end point was a bit of a search, no idea if I was already there, but at one point the tarmac stopped so that was the top.

Beklimming vorig jaar zomer gedaan. Snikhete dag en deze is bijna compleet in bos. Dus lekkere klim als het heet is. Bovenin wordt het een dicht donker woud in de rand van de Vercors. Begin net uit het dorp erg steil. Daarna constant maar wel redelijke percentages zoals aangegeven in de doorsnede. Erg rustig met een enkele auto en een fietser. Af en toe een uitzicht maar veelal bos. Het eindpunt was even zoeken, geen idee of ik er al was, maar op een gegeven moment hield het asfalt op dus dat was de top.
