The traffic is so heavy that it makes this ascent unpleasant as possible. Far too many cars and lorries. There is so much, but so much better around here that I recommend you stay as far away from this pass as possible.

La circulation est tellement dense qu'elle rend cette ascension désagréable au possible. Beaucoup trop de voitures et de camions. Il y a tellement, mais tellement mieux dans le coin que je vous recommande de vous éloigner de ce col autant que possible.

Climbed on 26-06-2023. From Fournols. This road, D 37, is not a steep climb and goes via the Col de Balance; so you take that in nicely. Beautiful panoramas's. Good road surface, little traffic. Warm in summer during the day, 'sometimes chilly in the morning. Few amenities along the way. Some photos's posted.

Beklommen op 26-06-2023. Vanuit Fournols. Deze weg, D 37, is geen steile klim en gaat via de Col de Balance; die pak je dus mooi even mee. Mooie panorama's. Goed wegdek, weinig verkeer. In de zomer overdag warm, 's ochtends soms fris. Onderweg weinig voorzieningen. Enkele foto's geplaatst.
