A decent climb were you get a good rhythm after the bridge, not so special views, but the decent to other direction is superb - long straights to get your speed up and nice flowing curves!

A col without much history, few scenic views and with quite a lot of traffic. Above the village of Saint-Martin, you can see the impressive traces of the natural disaster that took place here in 2020. Once above the village, it gets a little calmer, and you end up more in the forest, but even at the summit you don't really have a view, just a featureless ski resort, with parking and roundabout.

Een col zonder veel geschiedenis, weinig mooie uitzichten en met best veel verkeer. Boven het dorp van Saint-Martin zie je de indrukwekkende sporen van de natuurramp die hier in 2020 heeft plaatsgevonden. Eenmaal boven het dorp wordt het ietsje kalmer, en kom je meer in het bos terecht, maar zelfs op de top heb je niet echt een uitzicht, enkel een karakterloos skioord, met parking en rotonde.

I had expected the climb to really start in Saint Martin de Vesubie, but from Roquebilliere the road goes viciously uphill. But what a catastrophic inferno took place here in 2020! Dozens of houses in beautiful ST Martin have been completely washed away and some are on the verge of collapse. The original road and bridge have also disappeared, so you cycle over a steel temporary bridge. The new asphalt along the river also looks steeper at the 9%. Outside the village on the way to the Colmiane, you cycle into the forest and nothing of the flooding seems to have happened. At the top of the ski area, there are some restaurants. Quite unreal!

Ik had verwacht dat de klim pas echt zou beginnen in Saint Martin de Vesubie, maar vanaf Roquebilliere loopt de weg vals plat venijnig naar boven. Maar wat een catastrofaal inferno heeft hier in 2020 plaatsgevonden! Tientallen huizen van het mooie ST Martin zijn compleet weggespoeld en sommige staan op instorten. Ook de oorspronkelijke weg en de brug zijn verdwenen en je fietst dus over een stalen noodbrug. Daarmee lijkt het nieuwe asfalt langs de rivier ook steiler aan de 9%. Buiten het dorp op weg naar de Colmiane fiets je het bos in en lijkt er niets van de overstroming plaats te hebben gevonden. Boven bij het skigebied zijn wat restaurantjes. Best onwerkelijk!
