Nice pass, not easy. It's steep (long portions at 10%), quite long, with a surface that doesn't help! But it's worth the diversions especially as I didn't pass any car during the whole climb ! ... read more

Joli col pas facile. C’est raide (longues portions à 10%), assez long, avec un revêtement qui n’aide pas !
Mais ça vaut le détour surtout que je n’ai croisé aucune voiture durant toute la montée !!

Quiet road, little traffic. Hot in the summer sun, last part more shelter from trees. Few beautiful views. Viciously steep sometimes but doable for trained cyclist.

Rustige weg, weinig verkeer. Heet in de zomerzon, laatste deel meer beschutting van bomen. Weinig mooie uitzichten. Venijnig steil soms maar goed te doen voor getrainde fietser.
