Actually, the climbing starts right from Cangas de Narcea, but that does not add much to the difficulty because it is not that steep. The whole climb is not very steep anyway. Really a climb like you expect in central France. No kidding, a nice long climb with not too high percentages. With traffic, it's a bit busy especially at the beginning, but the traffic is well attuned to cyclists and is careful. At the top, clouds still linger, so you may find yourself riding the last part in the wet... read more

At the top, clouds still linger, so you may find yourself riding the last part in the wet. This will be pretty cold, so don't forget your rain jacket! On the way, the view behind you is quite nice, but there are certainly nicer climbs and views to be seen. Definitely do it if you are there, but I wouldn't detour for it either. It's a nice change from the steeper work in the region.

Eigenlijk begint het klimmen al direct vanuit Cangas de Narcea, maar dat voegt niet heel veel toe aan de moeilijkheidsgraad want zo steil is het niet. De hele klim is sowieso niet heel steil. Echt een klim zoals je die verwacht in het midden van Frankrijk. Geen gekkigheid, een mooie lange klim met niet al te hoge percentages. Met verkeer is het zeker in het begin wat druk, maar het verkeer is goed ingespeeld op de fietsers en is voorzichtig. Bovenop blijft er nog wel eens een wolk hangen, dus het kan zijn dat je het laatste gedeelte in de nattigheid rijdt. Dat is dan knap koud, dus vergeet je regenjackje niet! Onderweg is het uitzicht achter je best aardig, maar er zijn zeker mooiere beklimmingen en uitzichten te zien. Zeker doen als je er bent, maar ik zou er ook niet voor omrijden. Het is een fijne afwisseling ten opzichte van het steilere werk in de regio.
