Nice climb, but not many views once you reach the top of the pass. Road condition fairly average (with some gravel). Not much traffic.

The ascent is fairly easy. Special mention should be made of the climb via Boulc (and its well-lit 800 m tunnel) where you find yourself walking up a stream in a timeless, wild and very pleasant setting! I'd only give it three stars, though, because there's no particular view from the top, which is a shame.

Nice climb. If coming from Boulc, don't underestimate the tunnel. Think against the 10％, but especially the lack of lighting. The middle 600m are earth dark. At a minimum, use click lights to be visible. But I had to use my phone's torch to see anything at all. From Boulc nice regular climb. The descent towards Miscon looked steeper and shorter. Also nice. On the descent towards Miscon, watch out for pebbles on the road. Otherwise, the road surface is reasonable. I got there early and had the mountain to myself.
