Great new road. Accessible to cyclists only, just like the Col de la Loze. Some steep sections, but not too long and not too extreme. It doesn't get any prettier.... read more

Geweldige nieuwe weg. Alleen toegankelijk voor fietsers, net als de Col de la Loze. Enkele flink steile stukker, maar niet te lang en niet te extreem. Mooier wordt het niet.

left from Moûtier; first stretch may dent, but wasn't too bad. Didn't have a streak of shade (left too late) briefly topped up in les menuires for this last part of the climb. What a challenge. Nice path, nice views of the white mountain peaks, nice that I still had to gasp after a bit of 15%.

vanaf Moûtier vertrokken; eerste stuk kan deuk zijn, maar viel best mee. Geen streep schaduw gehad (te laat vertrokken) even bijgetakt in les menuires voor dit laatste stuk van de klim. Wat een uitdaging. Mooi pad, mooi uitzicht op de witte bergroppen, mooi dat ik toch een keertje naar adem moest happen na een stukje 15%.

Great with the bikepaths to the tops, but wow they are super steep. Didn't help we got hit with massive winds making 12% feel like 20%. But great trip up there
