False-flat uphill pass on a wide, good-quality road. There is a cycle path on the ascent for most of the route, which is a good thing as traffic can be heavy. It's best to cycle from late morning to early afternoon on weekdays to enjoy the peace and quiet. You pass by a waterfall and follow the river on the way up.... read more

Col en faux plat montant sur une route large de bonne qualité. Il y a une piste cyclable sur la montée sur la grande majorité du parcours, ce qui est une bonne chose vu que la circulation peut être importante. Privilégier les créneaux allant de la fin de matinée au début d'après-midi en semaine pour être plus au calme. On traverse le tunnel des Echelles pendant l'ascension.
