This col is actually an extension of Col de Croix-Fry.
At the top of the aforementioned, you continue cycling for a good 1.5km to the top of the Merdassier.
This extended section is not that tough there is even a descent in it. In short, easy to tick off and at the top you finish too, so not too busy at the top.

Deze col is eigenlijk het verlengde van Col de Croix-Fry.
Op de top van voornoemde fiets je nog een goede 1,5km door naar de top van de Merdassier.
Dit verlengde stuk is niet zo zwaar er zit zelf een afdaling in. Kortom, makkelijk af te vinken en op de top eindig je ook, dus niet al te druk bovenaan.
