Beautiful valley to cycle through. Road surface is bad between the Valsavarenche valley exit and Rhêmes-Saint-Georges. After that, whole sections have been renewed.... read more

Beautiful valley to cycle through. Road surface is bad between the Valsavarenche valley exit and Rhêmes-Saint-Georges. After that, whole sections have been renewed.

Prachtig dal om door te fietsen. Wegdek is slecht tussen de afslag naar het dal van Valsavarenche en Rhêmes-Saint-Georges. Daarna zijn hele stukken vernieuwd.

The climb is beautiful and not excessively demanding; the main bumps are encountered in the 4 km upstream of Rhêmes-Saint-George and should be tackled without overdoing it and with the clear understanding that, once this sector has been overcome, there will still be 10 km to the end of the climb.
The valley is beautiful and very green, and in the stretch around Rhêmes-Notre-Dame you can admire the Granta Parey that dominates the valley (while at the bottom of the climb it will not be visible).
It is recommended to equip the bike with at least a rear light because of the numerous tunnels, some of them quite long (500 m- 1Km)

Salita bella e non eccessivamente impegnativa; le asperità principali si incontrano nei 4 Km a monte di Rhêmes-Saint-George e vanno affrontate senza strafare e avendo ben chiaro che, una volta superato questo settore, mancheranno ancora 10 Km alla fine della salita.
La valle è bella e molto verde, nel tratto intorno a Rhêmes-Notre-Dame si può ammirare la Granta Parey che domina la vallata (mentre al fondo della salita non sarà visibile).
Si raccomanda di equipaggiare la bicicletta con almeno la luce posteriore a causa delle numerose gallerie, alcune anche abbastanza lunghe (500 m- 1Km)

Nice long gradual climb. Steep bit at 2-thirds of the climb spicy though. Especially in the heat. At the end a few nice villages with eateries. Nice view of the national park. Fairly quiet with traffic. Asphalt mostly good except for a few spots.

Mooie lange geleidelijke klim. Op het steile stuk halverwege na niet al te stijl.. Aan het eind een paar leuke dorpjes met eetgelegenheden. Mooi uitzicht op het nationaal park. Vrij rustig met verkeer. Asfalt overwegend aan het begin goed; later wat minder op een paar plekken na wel goed te zien. Aantal tunnels onderweg
