Magnificent road, the landscape is very wild and one sees well the antenna of the Truc de Fortunio. I find that this road is frustrating because it is not really a pass but it goes up all the same with some basins which makes that one has the impression to drag itself. Once at the crossroads of the lake, I advise you to make this small diversions, the lake is splendid and if you go there in winter it will be perhaps frozen thus pointing out the landscape of Canada.... read more

Magnificent road, the landscape is very wild and one sees well the antenna of the Truc de Fortunio.
I find that this road is frustrating because it is not really a pass but it goes up all the same with some basins which makes that one has the impression to drag itself.

Magnifique route, les paysage sont très sauvage et on aperçoit bien l’antenne du Truc de Fortunio.
Je trouve que cette route est frustrante car c’est n’est pas réellement un col mais cela monte tout de même avec quelques cuvettes ce qui fait que l’on a l’impression de se traîner.
Une fois au carrefour du lac, je vous conseille de faire ce petit détour, le lac est magnifique et si vous y allez l’hiver il sera peut être gelé rappelant ainsi les paysage du Canada.
