Ascent made on 02/11/2024 - Cool, sunny weather. The special feature of this climb is that it starts at the foot of the Chastang dam. After 1 km at 6/7％ on a surface of mediocre quality we reach the top of the dam, on which it is possible to ride. It's nice and impressive!

Ascent made on 02/11/2024 - Cool, sunny weather.
The special feature of this climb is that it starts at the foot of the Chastang dam. After 1 km at 6/7％ on a surface of mediocre quality we reach the top of the dam, on which it is possible to ride. It's nice and impressive!
Then the climb continues through the forest, with the surface getting better as you go. There were quite a few leaves at this time of year, which wasn't too much of a problem on the way up, but be careful if you use it on the way down.
There is a viewpoint just before the halfway point.
There was very little traffic that day (4 cars coming down).

Montée effectuée le 02/11/2024 - Temps frais et ensoleillé.
La particularité de cette montée est de démarrer au pied du barrage du Chastang. Après 1 km à 6/7％ sur un revêtement de qualité médiocre on arrive en haut du barrage, sur lequel il est possible de rouler. C'est sympa et impressionnant !
Ensuite la montée continue à travers la forêt, le revêtement devient meilleur au fur et à mesure. Il y avait pas mal de feuilles en cette saison, pas trop gênant en montée, mais attention si on l'emprunte en descente.
Un peu avant la mi-parcours il y a un belvédère.
Très peu de circulation ce jour-là (4 voitures qui descendaient).
