En partant du petit village de Arboras, col très agréable si il n’y a pas de vent. Une fois en haut on peut basculer sur Navacelle avec un fort pourcentage et si vraiment en forme le Mont Aigoual n’est plus si loin avec un départ du Vigan. Soyez en forme car c’est une sortie à plus de 200km
Leaving from the small village of Arboras, this is a very pleasant pass as it is not too demanding, but be careful if the wind is blowing. Once at the top, you can switch to Navacelle and, if you're in good shape, Mont Aigoual, but don't forget your walking sticks as it's a 200km ride.
En partant du petit village de Arboras, Col très agréable car pas trop exigeant mais attention si le vent souffle. Une fois en haut on peut basculer sur Navacelle et si on est en forme le Mont Aigoual mais soyez en cannes car c’est une sortie de 200km
Beautiful scenery and virtually no car traffic!
Beaux paysages et trafic voiture quasiment inexistant !
A pleasant, fairly steady climb, ideal when the wind is fair - which isn't always the case, given the name of the pass! The climb starts gently, then gradually becomes steeper without too much variation. The surface is generally good, although you need to be careful in places.
Don't expect a beautiful summit.
Montée agréable et plutôt régulière, idéale quand le vent reste clément – ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas vu le nom du col ! Le début se fait en douceur, puis la pente s’installe progressivement sans trop de variations. Le revêtement est globalement correct, même s’il faut rester prudent par endroits.
Ne vous attendez pas a un beau sommet.
This small pass is very pleasant to climb when the wind is not too unfavourable, and is fairly regular apart from the slight false flat after 2 km. The road is in decent condition, except if you want to continue on to Mont St Baudille, a few kilometres further on, which offers a breathtaking view all the way to the sea. A must-do if you're in the area!
Petit col très agréable à monter lorsque le vent n’est pas trop défavorable, assez régulier hormis le léger faux plat au bout de 2 km. La route est dans un état correct, sauf si vous souhaitez continuer sur le Mont St Baudille en poussant quelques km plus loin qui vous offre une vue imprenable jusqu’à la mer. A grimper si vous êtes dans la région !
