Nice steep and challenging climb this. You start from a nice little bridge over the water. There is a short flat/descent bit in the beginning which I am never really a fan of but good. Definitely recommended. Virtually no traffic.... read more

Nice steep and challenging climb this. You start from a nice little bridge over the water. There is a short flat/descent bit in the beginning which I am never really a fan of but good. Definitely recommended. Virtually no traffic.

Lekker steile en uitdagende klim dit. Je begint vanaf een mooi bruggetje over het water. Er zit nog een kort vlak/dalend stukje in het begin waar ik nooit echt fan van ben maar goed. Zeker een aanrader. Vrijwel geen verkeer.

The climb is in two parts.
The first 800m section after the small stone bridge gets you straight into the mood, with a succession of short hairpins in steep gradients.
This is followed by a flat area and even a very short descent.
After a small bridge comes a nice hairpin that sends you straight into a wall. Don't panic, because after the next hairpin, it's even worse...
After 800m, we finally reach Cognet in an 8-9％, which looks almost flat.

There's a great view of the Drac, the Valbonnais and, of course, the Obiou!

Montée en deux parties.
La première section de 800m après le petit pont de pierre met directement dans l'ambiance avec une succession de courte épingle dans de fort pourcentage.
S'en suit un replat et même une très courte descente.
Après un petit pont, vient un belle épingle qui envoi directement dans un mur. Pas d'affolement, car après la prochaine épingle, c'est pire...
Au bout de 800m, on fini par arriver à Cognet dans du 8-9％, ça semble presque plat.

Très belle vue à l'arrivée sur le Drac, le valbonnais, et bien sûr l'Obiou !
