A beautiful pass on a wide road in perfect condition, well worth the diversions! The start of the pass is just outside Montbrun-les-Bains, although there are already some steep gradients as you pass through the village. The first few kilometres are easy, right up to the first hairpin. Then it's 6-8% all the way to the summit. As you climb, the view over the valley becomes increasingly impressive, with Mont Ventoux in the background. The traverse of Barret-de-Lioure, 1.5km from the pass,... read more

A beautiful pass on a wide road in perfect condition, well worth the diversions!
The start of the pass is just outside Montbrun-les-Bains, although there are already some steep gradients as you pass through the village. The first few kilometres are easy, right up to the first hairpin. Then it's 6-8% all the way to the summit. As you climb, the view over the valley becomes increasingly impressive, with Mont Ventoux in the background.
The traverse of Barret-de-Lioure, 1.5km from the pass, is steeper, up to 12%. The last kilometre is around 6%. You don't see the pass until the last moment. At that point, you can descend to the left towards Séderon or tackle the very affordable Col de l'Homme Mort to the right. There is a picnic table where you can enjoy the view.

Un très beau col sur une route large et en parfait état, qui vaut vraiment le détour !
Le début du col se fait à la sortie de Montbrun-les-Bains, bien qu'il y ait déjà des pourcentages dans la traversée du village. Les premiers km sont roulants, jusqu'à la première épingle. Ensuite, c'est du 6-8% jusqu'au sommet. A mesure qu'on monte, la vue sur la vallée devient de plus en plus impressionnante, et au fond le Mont-Ventoux apparaît.
La traversée du Barret-de-Lioure, à 1,5km du col, est plus raide, jusqu'à 12%. Le dernier km est autour de 6%. On ne voit le col qu'au dernier moment. Là, on peut redescendre à gauche vers Séderon ou attaquer le très abordable col de l'Homme Mort à droite. Une table de pique-nique permet de profiter de la vue.

A magnificent climb that offers breathtaking scenery. The views of Mont Ventoux are magnificent, and the further you go, the higher you climb.

A good pass which is well done thanks to its progressive difficulty and its 10km: be careful not to start too fast all the same!

Un bon col qui se fait bien grâce à sa difficulté progressive et ses 10km : attention à ne pas partir trop vite tout de même !

Beautiful very smooth climb. The road is very good. At the top you could turn right to the Col de Homme Port or left down the Macuegne. View is beautiful over the valley where the Mont Ventoux is visible.

Mooie zeer egale klim. De weg is zeer goed. Bovenop kon je beetje naar rechts naar col de homme port of Links af de Macuegne weer af. Uitzicht is mooi over het dal waar ook de Mont Ventoux te zien is.
