Long hesitated to do it. Short but very hard, with the Pinot turn and the last ramp of the super board to tell yourself that it's really hard.

The Ognon crossing at Pont-sur-l'Ognon offers a scenic and serene experience for cycle tourists. As you cycle, take time to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, with the sound of the river flowing below and the birds singing in the trees.

Start of the climb towards the Planche des Belles Filles: approximately 7 km to the summit, i.e. the Super Planche, at ~8.5% average. And it starts strong from the start...

Great hotel, especially for festive occasions. Occasionally visits possible for an admission fee.
