A nice climb on a fairly quiet road. The further up the climb you go, the steeper it becomes. There are 10% inclines towards the top. The climb has a length of 10 km and an elevation gain of 370 m.

Nice climb on a road with little traffic, especially in the upper area. Right next to the bridge over the Beaume in Rosiéres, take the D303 towards Vernon/Sanilhac. In the lower area it is flat, briefly it even goes downhill, from Vernon then uphill with up to 10% and more. The effort is always rewarded with beautiful views of the countryside; The Saint-Michel church, which can be seen from afar, and the adjacent "Château" of Vernon are also a beautiful ensemble. In the upper area you pass the "Château de Versas", a Renaissance building from the 16th century with a central, octagonal tower. The ascent is 10 km long and goes from 155 to 525 meters in altitude.
