Great climb. The last 6 kilometers on a pass road, so hardly any traffic. Beautiful hairpin bends through the forest. Last kilometer steep and crisp.

Toller Anstieg. Die letzten 6 Kilometer auf einer Passstraße, daher kaum Verkehr. Schöne Serpentinen durch den Wald. Letzter Kilometer knackig steil.

Very nice climb, with beautiful mountain views all the way. The beginning is relatively easy, despite a few sections at 8%. It's on the second part that it gets complicated with gradients almost constantly above 9%. The last kilometre is a real leg-breaker. The state of the tarmac is just right, there are around 400 metres without tarmac (gravel) spread over 2 sections, which pose no problem for road bikes but watch out on the descent!

Ascension très belle, avec de belles vues sur les montagnes tout du long. Le début est relativement facile, malgré quelques portions à 8%. C'est à la seconde partie que cela se complique avec des pente presque constament au dessus des 9%. Le dernier kilomètre est un vrai casse-pattes. L'état du bitume est tout juste correct, il y a environ 400 mètres sans bitume (gravier) repartis sur 2 portions, qui ne posent pas de problème en vélo de route mais attention à la descente !
