Redone a little less than 15 days ago, this is a nice pass in the shelter and above all ideal if you are not a regular runner or climber, as it is always on a gentle slope in a splendid setting, the steepest part is almost at the foot when you leave the road to Besse to go and find the first part after this tricky passage. The slope rarely rises above 6% during the first 17 km with even small moments going down before Valbeleix then we arrive at Compains and there. The road slopes for 3km before a final km on the plateau we can put the gear back on. The summit is in a clearing with a beautiful little lake below, you are in the region of the Lakes between Cézallier and Artense.
Refait, il y a un peu moins de 15j, col sympa à l'abri et surtout idéal si vous n'êtes pas coureur régulier ou grimpeur, car toujours en pente douce dans un cadre splendide, le passage le plus pentu est presque au pied quand on quitte la route de Besse pour aller chercher la première partie après ce passage casse patte. La pente ne monte rarement au dessus de 6% durant les 17 premiers km avec même par moment des petits moment descendant avant Valbeleix puis on arrive à Compains et là. La route prend de la pente durant 3 km avant un dernier km sur le plateau on peut remettre du braquet. Sommet en clairière avec un beau petit lac en contrebas, vous êtes dans la région des Lacs entre Cézallier et Artense. Col gravi à 22 de moyenne sur un exercice en fartlek et non à 130 je ne suis pas une F3000 non plus ou Pantani en manque.
