The "human" side of San Carlo. For some sections it looks a little like the other side, but it remains fairly short as a climb. Perfect asphalt and an approachable first section. Last hairpin bends as hard as they are beautiful. Lovely constant view of the La Thuile valley.

Il lato "umano" del San Carlo. Per alcuni tratti sembra un pò il versante opposto ma rimane abbastanza breve come scalata. Asfalto perfetto e primo tratto abbordabile. Ultimi tornanti tanto duri quanto belli. Bella vista costante sulla valle di La Thuile.

Done on August 23, 2013
The approach to the steep slopes is almost straight, with no shade, the entry into the forest is after the 3rd kilometer ( the most difficult...despite the following)
At the top there are many picnic tables, which are very popular on nice summer days.
To enjoy the beautiful views you will have to go down to Morgex as the summit is drowned in the fir trees.
In 2013, there was no signpost with information on this side of the mountain, unlike the other, much more popular side.
Conclusion : Pass with an easy first part and a very hard and regular second part, little interest to do only this side because it is short

Fait le 23 Aout 2013
L'approche des fortes pentes est quasi rectiligne, sans ombre, l'entrée dans la forêt se fait après le 3ème kilomètre ( le plus difficile...malgré la suite)
Au sommet il y a de nombreuses tables pique-niques très prisées les belles journées d'été.
Pour profiter de beaux points de vues il faudra descendre vers Morgex car le sommet est noyé dans les sapins.
Il n'y avait pas en 2013 de panneau avec informations cyclo sur ce versant contrairement à l'autre beaucoup plus prisé.
Conclusion : Col avec une première partie facile et la seconde très dure et régulière, peu d'intérêt à faire uniquement ce versant car il est court
