It's a pretty climb, with gradients that are sometimes a little "dry", but the scenery is worth it...just magnificent. As a bonus, you can eat at the auberge at the summit. Be careful though, there may be snow until April.... read more

It's a pretty climb, with gradients that are sometimes a little "dry", but the scenery is worth it...just magnificent. As a bonus, you can eat at the auberge at the summit.
Be careful though, there may be snow until April.

C'est une jolie grimpette avec des pourcentages parfois un peu "secs", mais le paysage en vaut la peine...juste magnifique. Avec en prime, la possibilité de se restaurer à l'auberge au sommet.
Attention toutefois il peut y avoir de la neige jusqu'en avril.
