    A gravel climb on forest roads with a 95% gravel route. No paths, only roads for an intense gravel pleasure. A nice climb of 1234m, so you need to have the right equipment with 34-36 teeth at the back (on a double chainring). The view at the top is magnificent on several valleys, the surrounding peaks.

    Author’s recommendation

    Autumn is the ideal time because the larches are on fire (colors). And if by chance the fog struggles to lift, you will find yourself in a magical setting!
