Short but steep climb just before the top of col de Valouse. This climb is actually a shortcut to Valouse. Well, Valouse center is 3 or 4 houses. It is a narrow road of barely 2 m wide and the last 50 are very steep. You think behind the curve not still up but fortunately not. The descent is with the brakes on because sometimes it is 20％ and more. ... read more

Kort maar pittig klimmetje juist voor de top van col de Valouse. Dit klimmetje is eigenlijk een aftakking om naar Valouse te rijden . Nou ja Valouse centrum zijn 3 of 4 huizen.
Het is een smal weggetjes van amper 2 m breed en de laatste 50 zijn zeer steil. Je denkt achter de bocht toch niet nog omhoog maar gelukkig niet.
De afdaling is met de remmen dicht naar beneden want 20％ en meer soms.
