Undoubtedly the most erratic climb I've done because its course is beautiful, tough and difficult. The average gradient of 5％ does not reflect the difficulty. The climb starts on the D94 where it is flat until Villeperdrix. But once in Villeperdrix you turn right and fall from one surprise into another. The road is narrow with a lot of gravel and this for a few kms. However, one after the other bends and hairpin. Suddenly the road becomes very narrow with an impressive abyss next to you ... read more

Fantastic climb from start to finish. You start from the valley of the Gorges de Saint-May and climb winding along the cliffs to the pretty village of Villeperdrix. From there, you climb on with sometimes steeper and sometimes flatter sections, and especially beautiful mountain landscapes. At the top of the col you find yourself between the mountain peaks, after which you can descend in a nice twist towards either the Col de Préguitarre or the fantastic descent along the Gorges du Léoux. Descending along the same side is less pleasant as the road is narrow and there can be some gravel in several places.

Fantastische beklimming van begin tot einde. Je begint vanuot de vallei van de Gorges de Saint-May en klimt kronkelend langsheen de rotswanden tot het knappe dorp Villeperdrix. Vandaar klim je verder door met soms steilere en soms vlakkere delen, en vooral prachtige berglandschappen. Bovenop de col bevind je je tussen de bergtoppen, waarna je mooi bochtig kan afdalen richting ofwel de Col de Préguitarre, ofwel de fantastische afdaling langs de Gorges du Léoux. Afdalen langs dezelfde kant is minder aangenaam omdat de weg smal is en er op verschillende plaatsen wat grind kan liggen.

Quite a long climb with a magnificent view of the baronnies of Provence. I did it in the middle of summer and the heat can be hard to bear, with no shade. The tarmac is of average quality and traffic is fairly light.

Une montée assez longue avec une vue magnifique sur les baronnies provençales. Je l'ai faite en plein été et la chaleur peut être difficile à supporter, avec aucun point d'ombre. Le bitume est de qualité moyenne et la circulation assez faible

Undoubtedly the most erratic climb I've done because its course is beautiful, tough and difficult.
The average gradient of 5％ does not reflect the difficulty. The climb starts on the D94 where it is flat until Villeperdrix. But once in Villeperdrix you turn right and fall from one surprise into another. The road is narrow with a lot of gravel and this for a few kms. However, one after the other bends and hairpin. Suddenly the road becomes very narrow with an impressive abyss next to you only separated from the road by a border of max 50 cm. Then the road suddenly goes down and then up again. A few. A few km before the top you have a flat km with some pieces downhill and then suddenly a wall uphill.
So constantly changing gears and the last km is also heavy.
But you are treated with a fantastic panorama of the most beautiful region of France " The Drome ".
An absolute must. A golden advice is to bring plenty of liquor what there is nowhere to obtain and it was hot this week and no shade.
Beware of the many loose gravel and stones on the road but no problem to do with a road bike.

Ongetwijfeld de meest grillige klim die ik al gedaan heb want zijn verloop is mooi, zwaar en lastig.
Het gemiddelde stijgingspercentage van 5％ is geen weergave van de moeilijkheid. De klim begint aan de D94 waar hij tot in Villeperdrix gelijkmatig is. Maar eens in Villeperdrix je rechts gaat val je van de ene verrassing in de andere. De weg is smal met veel grind op en dit gedurende enkele kms. Wel de ene na de andere bocht en haarspeldbocht. Plotselikng wordt de weg super smal met een indrukwekkende afgrond naast je die enkel gescheiden is van de weg met een boordsteentje van max 50 cm. Daarna loopot de weg plotseling bergaf en dan weer omhoog . Enkele. Kms voor de top heb je dan weer een vlakke km met enkele stukjes bergaf en dan plotseling een muur bergop .
Dus constant schakelen en de laatste km is ook weer zwaar.
Maar je wordt onderweg getrakteerd met een fantastisch panorama van de mooiste streek van Frankrijk " De Drome ".
Een absolute aanrader. Een gouden raad is zeker voldoende drank mee te nemen wat er is nergens iets te verkrijgen en het was er deze week bloedheet en geen schaduw.
Opgelet voor het vele losliggende grind en regelmatig ook stenen op de weg maar wel zonder problemen te doen met een wegfiets.
