the first two kilometers offer a view over Martigny and the Rhone's valley
and lead to a nice hairpin. In the middle of the vineyards, the climb
continues in a very regular way (7-8%). The landscape is still quite scenic,
before entering the forest. A sequence of four hairpins break the monotony
and give a brief view over the beautiful surrounding mountains. The last
straight line seems to be slightly easier.
