Lovely climb, long but definitely not steep. Nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Especially at the top, the road continues over the peaks for a while. Fantastic views.

A very rolling pass at the start, with micro-passages of up to 100 metres with steeper gradients. This is a beautiful route that is not very busy in June and smells of lavender. Incredible views of the whole region from the top.

Longer slope but with very low gradients so it's not more interesting to climb
