A superb climb, uneven and difficult but without vehicles. The final stretch is endless. Just when you think you've finished, a new wall appears. The view over the Col de Néronne and the valley is magnificent.... read more

A superb climb, uneven and difficult but without vehicles. The final stretch is endless. Just when you think you've finished, a new wall appears. The view over the Col de Néronne and the valley is magnificent.

Superbe montée, irrégulière, difficile mais sans véhicules. La dernière ligne droite est interminable. Alors que l'on pense en avoir terminé, un nouveaux mur se dresse alors. La vue sur le col de Néronne et la vallée est magnifique.

A little-known but magnificent climb, which is also difficult, and the view from the ridge is superb.

Montée méconnue mais magnifique, difficile également, la vue depuis la crête est superbe
