Nice mountain, starts quietly but second half is hard work. No views from the summit.
Leuke berg, begint rustig maar tweede helft is het flink doorwerken. Geen uitzicht vanaf de top.
Done this morning, nice pass, although done at 11:30 am in the middle of the doldrums. the footing by the Corbière is deceptive, it starts quietly, before the exit of the hamlet Le Champs where then it doesn't stop between 7 and 11％ until the summit, the surface is not too bad, on the descent it hits a bit at times. On the other hand, there are very few people on the ascent.
Fait ce matin, col sympa, quoique fait à 11h30 en plein cagnard. le pied par la Corbière est trompeur ça part tranquille, avant la sortie du hameau Le Champs où ensuite ça n'arrête plus entre 7 et 11％ jusqu'au sommet, le revêtement est pas trop mal, en descente ça tape un peu par moment. Par contre très peu de monde dans l'ascension.
I did it from this side and the start is easier than from Aiguebelle, it's a pity that the latter is not listed on Climbfinder because it has the most difference in altitude.
See the attached map in photo.
Je l'ai fait de ce coté et le départ est plus facile que par Aiguebelle, c'est dommage que cette dernière ne soit pas répertoriée sur Climbfinder car c'est celle qui possède le plus de dénivelé.

Climbed on 19/09/2018 in the evening from RP Route de l'etang (Resto Le Saint Pierre). It was still quite difficult to get back down before dark. Nice steady climb, through the forest and some alpine meadows. Beautiful views. Good road surface.
Montée le 19/09/2018 en soirée depuis RP Route de l'etang (Resto Le Saint Pierre). Il était encore assez difficile de redescendre avant la nuit. Belle montée régulière, à travers la forêt et quelques alpages. De magnifiques panoramas. Bonne surface de la route.
