A difficult but very beautiful climb, the tarmac was resurfaced in 2025 for the Tour de France on 14 July. The end of the hairpin bends is steep and superb.

Irregular climb, a bit boring in the forest below, but as you get higher it gets more and more beautiful. At the end, you can see the summit and get some more hard work.
