Definitely recommended. Beautiful and varied. Difficult sections interspersed with a flat section in the Cirque de Valcivières. Plenty of shade.
Zeker aan te raden. Mooi en afwisselend. Lastige stukken afgewisseld met een vlak stuk in de Cirque de Valcivières. Veel schaduw.
This ascent on the D106 is the most challenging route before the Col des Supeyres; steeper sections of about 8％ interspersed with a flat section in the Cirque de Valcivières; lots of shade. Note: the route is not well drawn here: after the junction with the D67, the road first leads past Valcivières.
Deze beklimming over de D106 is wel de pittigste route voor de Col des Supeyres; steilere stukken van ca. 8％ afgewisseld door een vlak gedeelte in het Cirque de Valcivières; veel schaduw. Let op: de route is hier niet goed getekend: na de kruising met de D67 voert de weg eerst langs Valcivières.
Be careful, the little passage through the village of Gourbeyre is really infamous. The best thing is to stay on the main road to avoid having your legs blown off.
Attention le petit passage par le village de Gourbeyre est vraiment infâme. L'idéal est de rester sur la route principale pour ne pas se faire exploser les jambes.
You can reach the Col des Supeyres either via Saint Anthème, from Pèghes or from Ambert.
For me, this Col is one of the most beautiful to do in Forez, if not the most beautiful. The scenery is varied and magnificent throughout the three climbs, and the view from the top is magnificent, with the Puy de Dôme in the distance.
The road is good and the traffic fairly calm for the three alternatives.
My preference would be for the climb from Ambert, which is more demanding in sporting terms, but all three are very interesting.
Vous pouvez accéder au Col des Supeyres soit par Saint Anthème, soit au départ de Pèghes, soit au départ d'Ambert.
Ce Col est pour moi un des plus beaux a faire dans le Forez, si ce n'est le plus beau. Des paysages variés et magnifiques tout le long des trois ascensions et une vue magnifique au sommet, on peut apercevoir le Puy de Dôme.
La route est bonne et le trafic routier plutôt calme pour les trois alternatives.
Ma préférence irait à l'ascension qui part d'Ambert car plus exigeante sportivement, mais les trois sont très intéressantes.
