I was disappointed.
I was probably expecting too much from this pass, so much vaunted by bikers, so adored by 4-wheeled lunatics who think they're re-enacting the Monte Carlo rally.
And then there was the Tour de France this year.
Still, it's a beautiful climb. The road is excellent. The bends are pleasant. It's a bit like the perfect mountain road. That deliciously smooth perfection...
I didn't see anything absolutely breathtaking and unique.
Too many trees to see a truly exceptional landscape?
The percentage never hurts, but the 24km eventually wears you down.
Up there, restaurants, most of them closed.
Then there are Ferraris, Porsches, people showing off their wealth and even a few bicycles.
For those who love fir trees and Ferraris!
I'm bitterly disappointed. It's still a very beautiful pass.
Déçu.
J’attendais sans doute trop de ce col tant vanté par les motards, tant adulé par les cinglés sur 4 roues qui pensent rejouer le rallye de Monte Carlo.
Et puis le Tour de France est passé par là cette année.
Bon, reste que cette ascension est belle. La route est excellente. Les virages sont plaisants. C’est un peu la route de montagne parfaite. Cette perfection délicieusement lisse…
Je n’ai rien vu d’absolument ébouriffant et unique.
Trop d’arbres pour voir un vrai paysage exceptionnel ?
Le pourcentage ne fait jamais mal mais les 24km finissent par user.
Là-haut, des restaurants, fermés pour la plupart.
Et puis des Ferrari, des Porsche, des gens qui viennent étaler leur richesse et tout de même quelques vélos.
Pour ceux qui raffolent des sapins et des Ferrari !
Ma déception me rend amer. C’est tout de même un très beau col.
If Anton Pieck had drawn an Alpine mountain in the Efteling fairy tale forest, it would undoubtedly have looked like the Turini. In one word: beautiful!
On the col itself, unfortunately, there are only deserted hotels. The only one that is still open is hotel le Chamois, but that is a case of 'get the hell out'. The climb from the col to the barracks of l'Authion is worthwhile. Some extra altitude metres and rewarded with extra views.
Als Anton Pieck een Alpencol had getekend in het sprookjesbos Efteling, dan had hij er ongetwijfeld als de Turini uitgezien. In één woord: prachtig!
Op de col zelf heb je jammer genoeg louter verlaten hotels. De enige die nog open is, is hotel le Chamois, maar dat is gevalletje ‘met gierende banden wegwezen’. De klim vanaf de col naar barakken van l’Authion is de moeite waard. Toch wat extra hoogtemeters en wordt beloond met extra uitzicht.
First part beautiful but easy. Second part from the reel less beautiful but more difficult
Première partie magnifique mais facile. Deuxième partie depuis moulinet moins belle mais plus difficile
A very long pass (which could be divided into 2 passes) which is not complicated and the landscape is nice too!
Col bien long (qu'on pourrait plutôt recouper en 2 cols) qui n'est pas pour autant compliqué et le paysage est chouette en plus !
