Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb is genuinely hard, but the effort is well distributed. The first half (KM 0-5) is demanding, with a sustained stretch of 7-10% gradients that accounts for most of the elevation gain. The second half (KM 5-9) is more moderate (3-6%), with recovery sections, before a short sharp ramp at 7% at the end (KM 8-8.5).
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing the start: Don't get suckered by the easier first few kilometres. Save your legs for the hard section between KM 3.5 and 5.0 (8% to 10% gradients).
2. Make the most of the easier stretch: Use the long, gentler section between KM 5.5 and 8.0 (3% to 5% gradients) to recover and take on fuel before the last serious effort.
3. Be ready for the finish: After the short 7% ramp near KM 8.5, the road eases off quickly into a very gentle 2% finish, so you can open up the pace and drive it home.

The atmosphere up there is described as a major highlight. Riders talk about a friendly crowd and staff who are extremely welcoming, creating a relaxed, family-like vibe that makes it easy to swap stories. That human side makes the effort more enjoyable and helps make the session one to remember.
The facilities at the top are appreciated for their cosy feel. Reports mention a well-kept, clean space where you can grab a bite or something to drink, which makes it easy to linger after the effort. It's a place where you want to hang around, chat and share your ride.
Riders do flag one thing to watch out for: because the climb is so short, it can get crowded, which can make the last hectometres a bit tricky, especially with beginners or kids around. You need to stay alert. Some also mention that the road surface near the top can sometimes spoil the feeling of safety on arrival.
All in all, this climb is seen as a real local gem, perfect for a demanding training session or a easy-going ride in an authentic atmosphere. It proves that a climb's quality isn't measured by its length alone.
