Before you start the 'real' climb on leaving Royat, if you started in Clermont-Ferrand, you have already had quite a bit of climbing to do. Up to Fontanas definitely a beautiful and occasionally tough climb through a mostly green world. I find the part from Fontanas to the big roundabout the least enjoyable part of the col. After the roundabout, the second half of the col awaits with impressive views of the Puy de Dome. Until the summit, you cycle on a nice road through the forest until the top. Except for the last kilometre, the second half of the col runs much better than the stretch up to Fontanas. Fun to do, but if you are unlucky you will have to deal with a lot of traffic.

Voordat je bij het verlaten van Royat aan de 'echte' beklimming begint heb je, als je in Clermont-Ferrand bent gestart, al aardig wat klimwerk voor de kiezen gehad. Tot Fontanas zonder meer een prachtige en af en toe pittige beklimming door een veelal groene wereld. Het stuk van Fontanas tot aan de grote rotonde vind ik het minst leuke stuk van de col. Na de rotonde wacht de tweede helft van de col met een indrukwekkend zicht op de Puy de Dome. Tot de top fiets je over een mooie weg door het bos tot de top. Op de laatste kilometer na loopt de tweede helft van de col stukken beter dan het stuk tot Fontanas. Leuk om te doen, maar als je pech hebt krijg je te maken met veel verkeer.
