It's a very pleasant climb because it's not very busy and the gradients are demanding but regular. The view from the summit is breathtaking. On the way down, you can make the ascent to Ubine, which is well worth the diversions, although the first part is very steep. Watch out for cows in summer pasture...... read more

Montée très agréable car peu fréquentée et les pourcentages sont exigeants mais réguliers. Le site au sommet est de toute beauté. En descendant possibilité de faire l'ascension vers Ubine qui mérite le détour bien que très brutale dans sa première partie. Attention aux vaches en estive...

Oh dear! Being fairly well trained, I found this pass very difficult and totally depressing with some endless straights. But it's very calm and beautiful (and the variant that goes through the middle of the route on the left even more so).

Oh la vache! En étant plutôt bien entraîné, j'ai trouvé ce col très difficile et totalement déprimant avec certaines lignes droites sans fin. Mais c'est très calme et beau (et la variante qui par au milieu du parcours sur la gauche encore plus).

Superb climb! Beautiful scenery, little traffic, restaurant at the top. Occasionally tough in terms of steepness but mostly doable. Also plenty of shade at the start as you cycle through the forest. Beautiful views and good road surface.

Supermooie klim! Schitterende omgeving, weinig verkeer, restaurant op de top. Af en toe pittig qua steilheid maar meestal goed te doen. Ook veel schaduw aan het begin omdat je door het bos fietst. Mooie uitzichten en goed wegdek.
