Climbed on 3 July 2026. Good road surface and little traffic, but do watch out for the heat in summer. No facilities at the summit (col). There are lovely views during the climb, though. This col can also be reached from Sauclières, which is the route I took today. Fortunately, there is a col sign here (see photo). This col lies (almost) on the border between the departments of Gard and Aveyron.... read more

Beklommen op 3 juli 2026. Goed wegdek en weinig verkeer, wel oppassen voor de warmte in de zomer. Op de top (col) geen faciliteiten. Tijdens de klim wel mooie uitzichten. Deze col is ook mogelijk vanuit Sauclières en die heb ik vandaag ook gedaan. Op deze col gelukkig wel een colbord (zie foto). Deze col ligt (bijna) op de grens tussen de departementen Gard en Aveyron.
