"Accidentally" did this fairly short, tough climb on the way to the Col de Sabot. Road surface is not great, the view at the top certainly is!... read more

"Accidentally" did this fairly short, tough climb on the way to the Col de Sabot. Road surface is not great, the view at the top certainly is!

"Per ongeluk" deze redelijk korte, pittige klim gedaan op weg naar de Col de Sabot. Wegdek is niet geweldig, het zicht boven zeker wel!

Sustained ascent, no time to recover. Wonderful views from the summit. Stop at the orientation tables. Beautiful views.

Montée soutenue, aucun moments pour récupérer. Panorama merveilleux au sommet. Arrêtez vous au niveau des tables d'orientation. Très belle vue.

Steep climb in an extremely beautiful environment, with hardly any traffic. The road is not too good so be careful when going downhill. At the top there is a wonderful picknick place. Magnificent views and nice and quiet

After a thirst-quenching drink in Vaujany, I quickly took this short but tough climb. Expect moderate asphalt with some gravel and almost constant double percentages. The reward follows once you're on top, because there you are treated to a breathtaking 360 degree panorama. Well worth the detour!

Na een dorstlesser in Vaujany dit korte, maar heftige klimmetje nog gauw meegepakt. Verwacht je aan matig asfalt met wat kiezeltjes en vrijwel constant dubbele percentages. De beloning volgt echter eens je boven bent, want daar word je getrakteerd op een adembenemend 360 graden panorama. Het ommetje meer dan waard!
