Have done this beautiful climb many times , it is steep and is from the first metre up the front wheel between 9% and 10% . No traffic and nice asphalt. Descend via Aucelon which is very nice to get back to route Saillans..... Breathtaking scenery.

Heb deze mooie klim al dikwijls gedaan , hij is steil en is van de éérste meter het voorwiel omhoog tussen 9% en 10% . Geen verkeer en mooi asfalt. Afdaling via Aucelon dat is zeer mooi om weer uit te komen op route Saillans..... Adembenemende natuur.

Fantastically steep mean thing, it is. There's not much to see at the top, but until then it's nice viewing. You won't encounter traffic, and the tarmac is super. A must do though, well worth detouring for.

Fantastisch steil gemeen ding, dat is het. Bovenop is niet veel te zien, maar tot die tijd is het mooi kijken. Verkeer kom je niet tegen, en het asfalt is super. Wel een must om te doen, zeker waard om voor om te rijden.

Steepest and most challenging side of the Col de Pennes. Beautifully climbed and virtually no other traffic on the road. Asphalt is super. Quite nice views in the climb, barely any at the top.

Steilste en meest uitdagende kant van de Col de Pennes. Prachtig geklommen en vrijwel geen ander verkeer op de weg. Asfalt is super. In de klim best een mooi uitzicht, bovenop nauwelijks.

Cycled this climb from campsite L'hirondelle. Nice tour of 60km. First warming up with the climb on the east side, through Aucelon to the valley and then doing the toughest side as a finale.
Mostly 10% with occasional small bits of flat, which brings the average down to 10%.

Deze klim gefietst vanuit camping L’hirondelle. Mooie ronde van 60km. Eerst opwarmen met de klim aan de oostkant, via Aucelon naar het dal en vervolgens de zwaarste kant als slot te doen.
Grotendeels 10% met af en toe kleine stukjes vlak, waardoor het gemiddelde onder de 10% uitkomt.
