Climbed yesterday on the way back from my first long 160km outing. Tough at the start of the season... I'll go back there with more training because I find this pass very special: straight lines with a high percentage and very little traffic.... read more

Grimpé hier au retour de ma première sortie longue 160km. Dur dur en début de saison...
J'y retournerai avec plus d'entraînement car je trouve ce col particulier, logues lignes droites avec du pourcentage et très peu de circulation.

I didn't have a very good time on this pass, even though it's very handy for getting back to Thiers. The road is a long straight line, the few bends at the end are in the very steep part. The closer you get to the pass, the higher the road gets. There is some traffic and few views as the road is quite enclosed. I'd recommend passing it if it's convenient for your itinerary, but you won't miss anything if you avoid it.

Je n'ai pas passé un très bon moment dans ce col, même s'il est bien pratique pour revenir vers Thiers. La route est une longue ligne droite, les quelques virages à la fin sont situés dans la partie très raide. Plus vous approchez du col, plus la route s'élève. Il y a un peu de circulation et peu de points de vue car la route est assez enclavée. Je recommande d'y passer si cela est pratique pour votre itinéraire, mais vous ne raterez rien en l'évitant.
