In reality the pass starts 3 km before Picherande, with a good slope before a small flat before Picherande and then in fact it's a fairly simple pass although very irregular, between flats and slope, especially at the end, the last km and a half, hurts because you come from 1 km of almost flat. After that I prefer the face via Super Besse.
En réalité le col débute 3 km avant Picherande, avec un bon talus avant un petit replat avant Picherande puis en effet c'est un col assez simple quoique très irrégulier, entre replats et pente, surtout à la fin, le dernier km et demi, fait mal car on arrive de 1 km de presque plat. Après je préfère la face par Super Besse.
Necessary climb to be able to have lunch in Super Besse. But otherwise not worth the effort. From Besse it will be a lot harder.
Noodzakelijke klim om te kunnen lunchen in Super Besse. Maar verder niet de moeite. Vanuit Besse zal deze een stuk zwaarder zijn.
