Lovely climb. The last 6 km on the cycle path were nice and annoying at the same time. Without (trucks) cars it is nice cycling, but pfoe what an irregular climb from the barrier. Then flat, then super steep again. Not quite my thing. But I enjoyed the whole way. Anyone who loves cycling should go up here!

Heerlijke beklimming. De laatste 6km over het fietspad waren fijn en vervelend tegelijk. Zonder (vracht)auto's is het lekker fietsen, maar pfoe wat een onregelmatige klim vanaf de slagboom. Dan weer vlak, dan weer super steil. Niet helemaal mijn ding. Maar ik heb wel de hele weg genoten. Iedereen die van fietsen houdt moet hier omhoog!

Opinions on this new pass are very divided as it is a newly tarmacked road that winds through the high mountain pastures but also from station to station with chairlifts.
It is difficult to ignore the ski lifts during the ascent.
The positive side despite everything is the superb landscapes on a road entirely closed to traffic in the last 6 kilometers which is rare, at the approach of the summit the rocky terrain gives way to pastures and it is beautiful.
At one point I thought I was in the Izoard at the Casse Déserte.
Departure from Carrey, we go up to Courchevel passing Saint Bon, le Praz, and a little bit higher Moriond.
On this part the traffic is consequent.
The day I went up, the signposting was limited, I think that now it is at the top.
The steepest percentages are just after crossing the barrier with a good little wall passing at 18% and the 500M before the summit very hard about 14-15%
The scenery at the top is beautiful, still disregarding the lifts m lifts.
I came down through Meribel and it looks even tougher.
You really have to be careful on the descent because it goes fast and in places the laces are very tight.
There are even bands to slow down and signs that indicate a danger because this new road cuts through downhill mountain bike passages that existed long before.
I have noticed that on the arrival of the mountain bike paths there are now barriers like on the bike paths.

Les avis sur ce nouveau col sont très partagés car c’est un chemin nouvellement goudronné qui serpente dans les Alpages de Haute montagne mais aussi de Gares en Gares de Télésièges.
Difficile de faire abstraction aux remontées mécaniques lors de l’ascension.
Le côté positif malgré tout ce sont de superbes paysages sur une route entièrement fermée à la circulation dans les 6 derniers kilomètres ce qui est rare, à l'approche du sommet la rocaille fait place aux pâturages et c'est beau.
A un moment je pensais être dans l’Izoard au niveau de la Casse Déserte.
Départ du Carrey, on s’élève vers Courchevel en passant Saint Bon, le Praz,et un peu plus haut Moriond.
Sur cette partie la circulation automobile est conséquente.
Le jour où je suis monté, le fléchage était limite, je pense que maintenant il est au Top.
Les pourcentages les plus raides se situent juste après le franchissement de la barrière avec un bon petit mur passage à 18% et les 500M avant le sommet très durs environ 14-15%
Le paysage au sommet est magnifique, toujours en faisant abstraction aux remontées m mécaniques.
Je suis descendu par Méribel et ça parait encore plus costaud.
Il faut vraiment faire attention dans la descente car ça va vite et par endroits les lacets sont très resserrés.
Il y a même des bandes pour faire ralentir et des panneaux qui indiquent un danger car cette nouvelle route coupe des passages de descentes à VTT qui existaient bien avant.
D'ailleurs j'ai remarqué que sur l'arrivée des chemins VTT il y a maintenant des barrières de rétrécissements comme sur les pistes cyclables.
