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.... read more

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!

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.
