The climb starts just after crossing the bridge of the islands over the Vézère. From here you have a much higher view of a water tower three quarters of the way up the hill, which gives you an idea of the height difference that lies ahead. The landscape is beautiful, green and undulating all the way up the pass. A herd of Limousin cows is not uncommon after one of the 6 sharp bends.
The gradient is not regular and, combined with the far from good condition of the asphalt in places, the Sagnan climb is more difficult than a category 4.
La montée commence juste après avoir franchi le pont des îles qui enjambe la Vézère. D'ici on a un point de mire bien plus haut sur un château d'eau situé aux trois-quarts de la côte et qui donne déjà un aperçu sur le dénivelé qui vous attend. Les paysages sont beaux, verdoyants et ondulent tout au long du col. La traversée d'un troupeau de vaches Limousine n'est pas rare au-delà d'un des 6 virages serrés.
La pente n'est pas régulière et, cumulée à l'état de l'asphalte par endroits loin d'être en bon état, la côte de Sagnan vaut plus de difficulté qu'un catégorie 4.
