Super regular climb on the way to Chamonix/Emosson, great views, but it can be rather busy. Fun downhill!

The best part of this col is the descent to Martigny! What a party!

Het mooiste van deze col is de afdaling naar Martigny! Wat een feest!

A beautiful climb from the rather ugly Martigny, where it should be noted that the first 4 km there is little or no shelter. Since this climb is on the windward side of the Alps, the temperature can rise significantly in summer. Make sure you have full bottles when you start. Furthermore, a beautiful runner with certainly in the beginning beautiful views over the valley below. On top is a restaurant, but also a tap where you can fill up for free.

Een mooie klim vanuit het nogal lelijke Martigny, waarbij moet opgemerkt worden dat de eerste 4 kilometer niet of nauwelijks beschutting te vinden is. Aangezien deze klim aan de loef-zijde van de alpen ligt, kan de temperatuur flink oplopen in de zomer. Zorg dus voor volle bidons als je begint. Verder een mooie loper met zeker in het begin mooie vergezichten over de vallei eronder. Bovenop zit een restaurantje, maar ook een kraantje waar je gratis bij kan vullen.
