The Casteljau climb from the bridge over the Le Chassezac river is 4 km long with a total drop of 104 m. The average slope is 5% with maximum slopes of 12%. The first mile is much steeper than the rest and the climb gets easier the further you go.

On the way back (D111-Route de Ales) I recommend the "Via Ardeche" cycle path. Fine gravel is also OK with a racing bike.
