This side of the mountain brings me closer to the Col de Turini. Firstly, because there are fewer trees and the landscape is more open.
Secondly, because there are plenty of wild blackberries.
And finally, there were...
And then, the bellowing of the stags in this landscape, that was something...
And then, because I realised that arriving at the pass was just the prelude to the beautiful walk around the Authion, via the Baisse de Tueis, which is well worth the effort.
Otherwise, to talk about the climb, the road is good, resurfaced in places for the Tour de France.
The gradients vary between 6.5 and 8.5%. The scenery is beautiful without being stunning.
The bends are rather pleasant.
During the week, no parade of Ferraris...
The finish at the pass is as disappointing as ever, but above all continue towards the Baisse de Tueis. The real reward is up there! At 1900m.

Ce versant me réconcilie un peu avec ce col de Turini. D’abord parce qu’il y a moins d’arbres et que le paysage apparaît.
Ensuite parce qu’il recèle de gisements de mûres sauvages.
Enfin, il recelait…
Et puis, le brame des cerfs dans ce paysage, c’était quelque chose…
Et aussi, parce que j’ai compris que cette arrivée au col n’était que le prélude à la belle balade du tour de l’Authion, via la Baisse de Tueis qui vaut la peine.
Sinon, pour parler de l’ascension, la route est bonne, refaite par endroits pour le passage du Tour de France.
Les pourcentages oscillent entre 6,5 et 8,5%. La fin est solide.
Les paysages sont beaux sans être renversants.
Les virages sont plutôt agréables.
En semaine, pas de défilé de Ferrari…
L’arrivée au col est toujours aussi décevante mais surtout poursuivez vers la Baisse de Tueis. La vraie récompense se trouve là-haut ! À 1900m…

Superb col with endless hairpin bends. The valleys and vegetation make you enjoy. The only regret is arriving at the summit. After so much beauty, the top is all a bit disappointing and you hardly have a view of the two valleys.
Highly recommended!

Schitterende col met eindeloze haarspeldbochten. De valleien en begroeiing maken dat je geniet. Het enige jammere is dat aankomst op de top. Na zoveel moois valt het boven allemaal wat tegen en heb je nauwelijks een uitzicht over de twee dalen.
Een aanrader!

Things get tougher after La Bollène because there's not a single flat spot left (apart from taking the wide hairpins) and the last 4 km are very hard at 8.5%

Ça se corse après la bollène car plus un seul replat (à part de prendre les épingles larges) et les 4 derniers kms très durs à 8,5%

The landscape is just as beautiful as the Sospel side. With ancient chestnut trees forming a hedge as a spectator. For me personally, this is the most beautiful col in France. But that is because I like to look around me instead of just at my wrists on the handlebars.

Landschappelijk zeker zo mooi als de Sospelzijde. Met oeroude Kastanjebomen die een haag vormen als toeschouwer. Voor mij persoonlijk is dit de mooiste col van Frankrijk. Maar dat komt omdat ik vooral graag om me heen kijk inplaats alleen maar naar mijn polsen op het stuur.

The most complicated side from my point of view but numbers too! the km at 7% become routine and we are quite happy when it stops!

Le versant le plus compliqué de mon point de vue mais des chiffres aussi ! les km à 7% deviennent la routine et on est bien content quand ça s'arrête !

I think this is in the region a must. Only I did it at temperatures up to 42 degrees and then the climb is very heavy. The descent to Nice is beautiful and very technical.
In 2020, this climb was in the Tour de France and also in the canceled Étape du Tour.
The descent is very beautiful, so beautiful that I want to ride that descent. That col has different, but have forgotten the name.

Ik vind dit in de regio wel een aanrader. Alleen ik deed hem bij temperaturen tot 42 graden en dan is de klim loodzwaar. De afdaling naar Nice is wondermooi en zeer technisch.
In 2020 zat deze klim in de Tour de France en ook in de geannuleerde Étape du Tour.
De afdaling is heel mooi, dus zo mooi dat ik die afdaling wel eens wil oprijden. Die col heeft anders, maar ben de naam vergeten.
