It's one of my favourite climbs in Forez, with magnificent and varied scenery, great views over the plain, and the finish at the Col de Baracuchet always a pleasure.
Not very demanding in sporting terms, but enough to enjoy all the same.
Not a lot of road traffic.

C'est une de mes ascensions préférées dans le Forez, avec des paysages magnifiques et variés, de beaux points de vue sur la plaine, l'arrivée au Col de Baracuchet toujours un plaisir.
Sportivement pas très engagée mais assez pour apprécier quand même.
Pas énormément de circulation routière.

A lovely even climb of 15 kilometres. Sometimes beautiful views, now and then a little shade. Here too, the signs along the way show the distances to the top and the coming gradients. Via the Col de Croix de lHomme Mort back to Montbrison with a great section.

Een heerlijke gelijkmatig klim van 15 kilometer. Soms prachtige vergezichten, af en toe een beetje schaduw. Ook hier de bordjes langs de weg met de afstanden tot de top en de komende stijgingspercentages. Via de Col de Croix de lHomme Mort terug naar Montbrison met een geweldige afdeling.
