You need to be aware that this climb is only a challenge. Everything else is of no interest: the tarmac is of very poor quality and only gets worse throughout the climb (watch out for the big holes on the descent), there are virtually no views and the summit is completely uninteresting: no stopping area, no orientation table, just a white grid in the middle of the path. In short, I give it 3 stars because it's pretty rare in the region to be able to tackle this kind of slope on a road bike.... read more

Il faut être conscient que cette ascension se fait uniquement comme un défi. Tout le reste ne présente aucun intérêt : le bitume est de très mauvaise qualité et ne fait que s'empirer tout au long de la montée (attention aux gros trous à la descente), il n'y a pratiquement aucune vue et le sommet est complètement sans intérêt: ni aire en arrêt, ni table d'orientation, simplement une grille blanche au milieu du chemin. En bref, je mets 3 étoiles car c'est plutôt rare dans la région de pouvoir affronter de genre de pentes en vélo de route.

A very demanding climb with steep gradients and a road in very average condition, but doable by road bike.
Access authorised up to the top of the climb, at the relay station.

Ascension très exigeante avec des pourcentages sévère et une route en état très moyen mais faisable en vélo de route.
Accès autorisé jusqu'en haut de la montée, au relais

For what it's given it's perfect
On the other hand, you have to like the heat, as it's not at all rolling (even annoying on the way down) and it's very sunny.

Pour ce l'a donner c'est parfait
Par contre il faut aimer la chaleur car pas roulant du tout(même embêtant à la descente) et plein soleil
