Super nice climb. Spicy start with the first kilometres above 10％. Beautiful winding climb through the forest. Regular beautiful views over Lake Geneva and Mt Blanc in the distance.
Throughout the climb, only encountered 1 car and 3 other cyclists.
Super mooie klim. Pittige start met de eerste kilometers boven de 10％. Mooie bochtige klim door het bos. Regelmatig mooi uitzicht over het meer van Genève en in de verte de Mt. Blanc.
Tijdens de gehele klim, maar 1 auto tegen gekomen en 3 andere fietsers.
Wegdek is redelijk goed.

Beware, the summit indicated by the signs is a little further (12.3km in total, summit at 1390m) but the extra kilometres are easy. A few kilometres without too much difficulty to reach the col de la faucille and come back down on a better asphalted and wider road (but with many more cars).
The road is almost always in the shade, with only one real view of Lake Geneva in the middle of the climb.
Attention, le sommet indiqué par les panneaux est un peu plus loin (12,3km au total, sommet a 1390m) mais les kilomètres supplémentaires sont faciles. Quelques kilomètres sans trop de difficulté pour rejoindre le col de la faucille et resmdescendre sur une route mieux asphaltée et plus large (mais avec beaucoup plus de voitures).
La route est quasi tout le temps a l'ombre, un seul vrai poitn de vue sur le lac Léman au milieu de la montée.
This morning, for breakfast, we climbed this climb, highly recommended! Didn't see a single car, very quiet road (big advantage compared to col de Faucille)! In the beginning (a few kilometers long), the percentage never drops below 10％, which makes it quite tough. Towards the end, there are some better stretches to catch your breath or to improve your Strava time on the big slab.
Unfortunately, from the top of the pass you have hardly any view on the beautiful valley with Lac Léman, you're almost always under the trees (which is an advantage considering the heat). The road surface is not great, but for climbing it's more than enough (I wouldn't recommend descending via this road).
Deze morgen als ontbijt deze klim bedwongen, zeer zeker een aanrader! Geen enkele auto gezien, zeer kalme weg (groot voordeel ten opzichte van col de Faucille)! In het begin (toch wel enkele kilometers lang) duikt het percentage nooit onder de 10％, wat hem toch wel pittig maakt. Naar het einde zitten er wat beter lopende stukken in om even op adem te komen of om op de grote plaat uw Strava-tijd wat scherper te stellen.
Vanop de col heb je jammer genoeg amper zicht op de prachtige valei met Lac Léman, je zit bijna continu onder de bomen (wat wel een voordeel is gezien de warmte). Het wegdek is niet top, maar om te klimmen meer dan genoeg (afdalen via deze weg zou ik niet aanraden).
