Very nice Cévennes climb, with a beautiful panorama at the top, but being from the Cévennes I'm certainly not objective!
Steep before and after the Sounalou traverse, which allows you to get your head back in the game.

Très belle montée cévenole, avec une beau panorama au sommet, mais étant Cévenol je suis pas doute pas objectif !!
Raide avant et après la traversée de Sounalou, qui permet de se refaire la cerise.

Very nice little pass ideal for testing yourself on the big gradients and for admiring the beautiful panorama at the top.
The climb takes place in three stages, the first few kms are on strong percentages in the chestnut tree, then comes a flat area at 4-5% before leading to a much more pastoral environment, it's then a gradual ascent of the slope to finish on a last km above 10 %.

Très beau petit col idéal pour se tester sur les gros pourcentages et pour admirer le beau panorama au sommet.
La montée se déroule en trois temps, les premiers kms s'effectuent sur de forts pourcentages dans le chataigner, puis vient ensuite un replat à 4-5% avant de déboucher sur un environnement beaucoup plus pastoral, c'est ensuite une montée progressive de la pente pour finir sur un dernier km supérieur à 10 %.
