This is a much nicer (and steeper) variant of the climb to Risoul, a small road and a beautiful old village. Almost nobody knows and / or does this climb while it really is the best way to climb to Risoul. On the descent you can best do the classic climb.

Dit is een veel leukere (en steilere) variant van de klim naar Risoul, een klein weggetje en een mooi oud dorpje. Bijna niemand kent en/of doet deze klim terwijl het echt de mooiste manier is om naar Risoul te klimmen. Op de afdaling kun je wel het beste de klassieke klim doen.
