The climb starts in the village of Saint-Auban-sur-L'Ouveze at about'5% . The climb does not get really steep anywhere. After the village there is a short descent, after which it is climbing again. You now drive through a wide gorge. What a beautiful stretch, if you are lucky you will see vultures circling above the rocks.
Once you leave the gorge, the climb flattens out and turns to false flat. It's a long straight section and despite the few altimeters you gain on that stretch, it can be quite tough when the wind is full on.
The last stretch is again slightly steeper but then you soon reach the top at the level of the street with the winged name 'Le Col'.
If you want to do a lap you can ride straight on for a few kilometres towards Lachau, and before Lachau turn left to the Col Saint Jean and then do the Col de Perty. Both slightly tougher than the Mevouillon. After the descent of the Perty, you then end up back in Mevouillon.

De klim vangt aan in het dorpje Saint-Auban-sur-L'Ouveze aan zo'n 5% . Echt steil wordt de klim nergens. Na het dorpje volgt een kort stukje afdaling, waarna het weer klimmen wordt. Je rijdt nu door een ruime kloof. Wat een mooi stuk, als je geluk hebt zie je boven de rotsen gieren cirkelen.
Eenmaal je de kloof verlaat, vlakt de beklimming af en gaat het over naar vals plat. Het is een lang recht stuk en ondanks de weinige hoogtemeters die je op dat stuk maakt, kan het best pittig zijn als de wind vol op kop staat.
Het laatste stuk is terug ietsje steiler maar dan bereik je al vlug de top ter hoogte van de straat met de gevleugelde naam 'Le Col'.
Als je een rondje wil maken dan kan je een aantal kilometer rechtdoor rijden richting Lachau, en voor Lachau links afslaan naar de Col Saint Jean en vervolgens de Col de Perty doen. Beide iets zwaarder dan de Mevouillon. Na de afdaling van de Perty kom je dan terug uit in Mevouillon.
