Nice in a hot summer day. Impressive views over mont calm and mont valier. Road is ok to go up, when going down you have to be very careful as gravel appears at the middle of turns.... read more

Nice climb. First part steeper. Road not very busy with a few gravel sections.

Jolie montée. Première partie plus raide. Route peu passante avec quelques parties avec gravillons.

A very nice climb. Narrow road from Ercé. D132 Cominac follow. First part is tough. Approximately up to Cominac, then easy and beautiful too. The climb flattens out very nicely to the top. You climb through the woods, hardly any traffic on the narrow road. Really a nice climb in between. Was part of my tour from Tarascon, Port de Lers, Col d'Agnes, Col de Saraillé, Col de Caugnous, Col du Port. Recommended this climb and this round.

Een hele sympathieke klim. Smalle weg vanuit Ercé. D132 Cominac volgen. Eerste stuk is pittig . Ongeveer tot aan Cominac, daarna easy en mooi ook. De beklimming vlakt heel mooi uit tot de top. Je klimt veel door het bos, nauwelijks verkeer op de smalle weg. Echt een leuke klim tussendoor. Was bij mij onderdeel van rondrit vanuit Tarascon, Port de Lers, Col d’Agnes, Col de Saraillé, Col de Caugnous, Col du Port. Aanrader deze klim en deze ronde .
