A very regular pass, but for the most part in the forest (which is an advantage in hot weather, however). The surface is really not very smooth, forcing you to drive in the centre of the road (fortunately, it's not very busy). There's a difference of 1.5 km/h depending on where you're driving. The pass is very beautiful. You can go down the other side (Lez valley) and do a loop via Alos. For people like me who like peace and quiet and wild places.... read more

A well-run climb, nowhere above 8%, fine for a first day in this region. landscape is beautiful, but as it was foggy, I didn't get to see the really nice parts.

Een goed lopende beklimming, nergens boven de 8%, prima voor een eerste dag in deze regio. landschap is mooi, maar omdat het mistig was, heb ik de echt mooie delen niet kunnen zien.

Very regular pass, difficult for our level, but nice scenery, much appreciated shade from the trees for half the ascent.

Col très régulier, difficile pour notre niveau ,mais paysages sympa, ombre des arbres très apprécié sur la moitié de l'ascension.

Col très régulier mais en grande partie dans la forêt (ce qui est toutefois un avantage par canicule). Le revêtement ne rend vraiment pas, obligeant à rouler au centre de la route (heureusement très peu fréquentée). 1,5 km/h d'écart selon l'endroit où on roule. Le col est très beau. Possibilité de descendre par l'autre versant (vallée du Lez) et de faire une boucle par Alos.
Pour ceux qui comme moi aiment le calme et les endroits sauvages.
