Once you have reached the famous Plateau d’Emparis, you will start the descent towards Besse. Be cautious during the descent as there are many small rocks and the slope is quite steep. Also, watch out for the ditches along the path, as they are present throughout the descent.

After reaching Besse, you will start the last part of the route, and it is no easy task. The climb of Col de Sarenne awaits you! It is definitely not a piece of cake at the end of the ride! However, it is one of the most beautiful mountain climb I have had the opportunity to ride, despite its difficulty. The slopes are steep at times, and it is also exposed to the sun. Choose riding time wisely to avoid the hottest hours of the day!
