An averagely demanding climb that can ideally be divided into three sectors: the first goes from the bridge over the Dora to the junction for Pré-de-Pascal, challenging with gradients of even more than 10％, the second on a falsopiano that allows you to fully enjoy the marvel of the Mont Blanc glacier and the luxuriant nature of the valley, characterised by forests of tall fir trees, the third upstream of the pin-nic area: The third upstream of the pin-nic area: you regain altitude with a couple of hairpin bends, the gradients become steep again, and you arrive at the barrier that prevents cars from continuing, from there, on a road with fairly steep gradients, you arrive at a first dirt track (practicable on a road bike without too much trouble), passing it, you return to asphalt and proceed to the final end of the road, the Combal Lake
Salita mediamente impegnativa divisibile idealmente in tre settori: il primo va dal ponte sulla Dora al bivio per Pré-de-Pascal, impegnativo con pendenze anche superiori al 10％, il secondo su un falsopiano che permette di godersi pienamente la meraviglia del ghiacciaio del Monte Bianco e la rigogliosa natura della valle, caratterizzata da boschi di alti abeti, il terzo a monte dell'area pin-nic: si riprende quota con una coppia di tornanti, le pendenze tornano aspre, si arriva alla sbarra che impedisce alle automobili da proseguire, da lì, su una strada con pendenze abbastanza elevate si arriva a un primo tratto sterrato (percorribile su bici da strada senza troppi patemi), superandolo, si torna su asfalto e si procede fino alla fine definitiva della strada, il Lago Combal
It is worth it more for the beauty of the views than for the climb itself, although there are some exciting sections.
Merita più per la bellezza dei panorami che per la salita in se, pur con alcuni tratti entusiasmanti.
