Very nice climb! You can start directly from the sea at Menton, go up towards Sainte Agnes on the most beautiful and wide road, and then take the slightly rougher road for the last 5/6 km of the pass! Beautiful scenery, I recommend doing it when it's not too hot and taking plenty of water with... read more

Very nice climb! You can start directly from the sea at Menton, go up towards Sainte Agnes on the most beautiful and wide road, and then take the slightly rougher road for the last 5/6 km of the pass! Beautiful scenery, I recommend doing it when it's not too hot and taking plenty of water with you! In itself it is not too hard as a climb, the gradient remains fairly constant but it almost never lets up, especially in the last 3 km which are the hardest!

Very nice col on the Côte d'Azur! The hardest part for me personally was the heat. In the summer, it can be very hot on this col, and there is little shade. However, you have a beautiful view of the Mediterranean and the village of Sainte-Agnès. If you are in the neighbourhood, do it!

Pro riders would start their stopwatch just before the 1st hairpin. Amazing views on this climb!
