One of the climbs up to the Vercors plateau: the road is wide, and fortunately so, because there's a lot of traffic, great views of the high mountains, and it's always fun to pedal under the 3 Pucelles.... read more

For me, a little too much traffic to really appreciate the beautiful views over Grenoble. The very beginning of the climb is the hardest, after that it's fairly steady. I found the end a little long.

Pour moi, un peu trop de circulation pour vraiment apprécier les beaux ponts de vue sur Grenoble. Le tout début de la montée est le plus dur, ensuite c’est assez régulier. J’ai trouvé la fin un peu longue.

Une des montées pour rejoindre le plateau du Vercors : la route est large et heureusement car il y a de la circulation, de belles vues dégagées sur les massifs d'altitude, et toujours sympa de pédaler sous les 3 Pucelles.

Interesting to access the plateau du vercors, but a bit long with few turns sometimes. Beautiful panoramas however

Long ascent on a wide and well-paved road, with a regular slope and relatively low altitude, except towards the Tour-sans-Venin and just after. Strong point: superb panoramas on Grenoble and the neighbouring massifs of Chartreuse and Belledonne, almost all the way up. Weakness: there can be a lot of traffic, especially during rush hour. Another weakness, for those who fear the heat, is that the road is exposed to the sun almost all the time. Note the existence of a variant with the same level of difficulty leaving from Seyssinet-Pariset and joining the route indicated here after 4 or 5 km, and a few possibilities of mixing and matching between these two accesses.

Longue ascension sur une route large et bien revêtue, de pente régulière et relativement peu élevée, sauf vers la Tour-sans-Venin et juste après. Point fort : de superbes panoramas sur Grenoble et les massifs voisins de la Chartreuse et de Belledonne, quasiment tout au long de la montée. Point faible : il peut y avoir beaucoup de trafic, notamment aux heures de pointe. Un autre point faible, pour ceux qui craignent la chaleur, est que la route est exposée au soleil pratiquement en permanence. À noter l'existence d'une variante de même niveau de difficulté partant de Seyssinet-Pariset et rejoignant l'itinéraire indiqué ici après 4 ou 5 km, et quelques possibilités de panachage entre ces deux accès.
