About 6.2 km long, average gradient 9%.
It starts with 1 km at 8-10%. After entering into the small village of Orbeillaz, there is a short flat, then follow the sign toward right and the hell starts: about 2 km from 12 to 17% gradient!
It becomes lighter after the mines of Bechaz. Not a great view at the top, but there is a big pic-nic area.
Tackled by the pro-riders during 2018 "Giro d'Italia" (Tour of Italy) for the first time, in the stage toward Cervinia.
