A Paris Nice classic. First of all, this pass is a bit long.
The end of the climb is beautiful. The vegetation is sparse and the scenery is wild. Deer roam around...
The road is good. It never climbs very steeply, but the pass does wear a bit.
The highlight is the view of Saint Paul de Vence.
Further up, the scenery is interesting but not breathtaking either.
Leaving late in the evening (because of the heatwave), I met more cyclists than motorists, and that's priceless.
4 stars for the opportunity to visit Saint Paul de Vence and for the works of art surrounding the Maeght Foundation.
Un classique de Paris Nice.
D’abord, il est un peu long ce col.
La fin de l’ascension est belle.
La végétation se fait rare et les paysages sont sauvages. Les chevreuils se baladent…
La route est bonne. Ça ne monte jamais très fort mais il finit par user un peu, ce col.
Le point fort reste la vue sur Saint Paul de Vence.
Plus haut, les paysages sont intéressants mais pas non plus époustouflants.
En partant tard le soir (canicule) j’ai croisé plus de cyclistes que d’automobilistes et ça, ça n’a pas de prix.
4 étoiles pour la possibilité de visiter Saint Paul de Vence et pour les œuvres d’art qui entourent la Fondation Maeght.
Very nice climb, but the heat makes it tough! In summer, it can get very hot here, and there is hardly any shade. Expect a dry, almost desert-like landscape with leaden heat! Apart from the heat, it is a very nice climb. Quiet road from Vence, and a road that winds very nicely through the mountains. Highly recommended!
Zeer mooie klim, maar wat is hij pittig door de hitte! In de zomer kan het hier zeer warm worden, en er is amper schaduw. Verwacht je aan een droog, bijna woestijnachtig landschap met loden hitte! Afgezien van de hitte wel een zeer mooie klim. Rustige weg vanaf Vence, en een weg die heel mooi slingert doorheen de bergen. Een aanrader!
I did this climb from St Paul de Vence. Beautiful climb. Through Vence a bit busy, but then quiet again. Nowhere really steep, except maybe a bit directly after Vence. At the top you are treated to a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea with Nice and Antibes.
Ik heb deze klim vanuit St Paul de Vence gedaan. Mooie klim. Door Vence een beetje druk, maar daarna weer rustig. Nergens echt stijl, behalve misschien stukje direct na Vence. Bovenop word je getrakteerd op een prachtig uitzicht op de Middellandse Zee met Nice en Antibes.
The real pass starts in vence at the fountain mythical pass of 06 10kms to 7％ and some passages to 8％ regular climb without any flat no shade in 3/4 of the course
Le vrai col commence à vence à la fontaine col mythique du 06 10kms à 7％ et quelques passages à 8％ montée régulière sans aucun replat aucune ombre dans les 3/4 du parcours
