A wonderful reward after a strenuous climb or a plateau circuit. Very good asphalt, nice views and hardly any traffic. In the later months, it can be a bit cool in the afternoon because large parts of the descent are in the shade.

elongated serpentines with about 10% slope. I'm down here twice, uphill is certainly fun.
