The Col de Bleine is part of the "Boucles d' Azur", a course of some 265 km through the limestone plateaus of the Provencal Alps. A unique and unforgettable trip that you can ride, in several stages or not. At 6 %, the Col de Bleine is not really difficult, although you shouldn't underestimate it either because in the hinterland of Castellane temperatures can rise quite a bit during summer. Better to start slowly, especially the first kilometres which are also the toughest, and then see what's left in the tank in the second half. Quite a nice climb, for much of it among the pine trees, but still always with views over the surroundings. The tarmac, despite its roughness, is of fairly good quality, so quite rideable. Apart from a local or a lost tourist, there is little or no traffic.

De col de Bleine maakt deel uit van de "Boucles d' Azur", een parcours van zowat 265 km doorheen de kalksteenplateaus van de Provencaalse Alpen. Een unieke en onvergetelijke trip die je, al dan niet in verschillende etappes kan rijden. Met 6 % is de col de Bleine niet echt zwaar te noemen, al moet je hem ook niet onderschatten want in het hinterland van Castellane kan de temperatuur tijdens de zomer aardig oplopen. Beter is om, zeker de eerste kilometers die tevens de zwaarste zijn, rustig te beginnen en dan zien wat er in de tweede helft nog in de tank zit. Best wel een mooie klim, voor een groot gedeelte tussen de pijnbomen, maar toch steeds zicht over de omgeving. Het asfalt is ondanks zijn ruwheid van vrij goede kwaliteit, dus best wel goed berijdbaar. Buiten een local of een verdwaalde toerist is er weinig of geen verkeer.
