Less good experience with this climb than the first two reviews. The climb actually takes 5 km. Then you are also at the highest point (about 1700 m).
Climb is irregular and the road surface is also poor. Especially with the descent, this bothers you. Do you cycle this climb on a day in the summer holidays? Then the verge around the end of the climb is full of hikers' cars. So a lot of traffic in summer.
On the day of the climb, the summit shrouded in clouds. View then is zero.

Minder goede ervaring met deze klim dan de eerste twee recensies. De klim duurt eigenlijk 5 km. Dan zit je ook op het hoogste punt (ca 1700 m).
Klim is onregelmatig en ook het wegdek is matig. Zeker met de afdaling heb je hier hinder van. Fiets je deze klim op een dag in de zomervakantie? Dan staat de berm rond het einde van de klim vol met auto’s van wandelaars. Veel verkeer dus in de zomer.
Op de dag van de klim hulde de top zich in de wolken. Uitzicht is dan nul.

Did this climb after the Col de la Morte, very quiet climb with generally good road surface. If you're out of the woods you are rewarded with beautiful views. From the parking lot there is a narrow gravel road to the lake, where you look out on a beautiful rock formation, which is not visible from the Col de la Morte. If you descend again to the Col de la Morte you will first have to climb two pieces, with some steep meters.

Deze klim gedaan na de Col de la Morte, erg rustige klim met over het algemeen een prima wegdek. Als je het bos uit bent word je beloont met prachtige vergezichten. Vanuit de parkeerplaats is er een smal gravelweggetje naar het meer, waarbij je uitkijkt op een prachtige rotsformatie, die vanaf de Col de la Morte niet te zien is. Als je weer afdaalt naar de Col de la Morte zul je eerst nog twee stukjes moeten klimmen, waarbij nog wat steile meters zitten.

Fantastic climb - nice addition to the col de la Morte. On our GPS it was 9km to the lake, and not 5. The 11% was correct, but all in all doable as a combination. From the foot of la Morte you have 1500 altimeters on it, but very worthwhile. Beautiful views, great peace - really recommended

Fantastische klim - leuke aanvulling op de col de la Morte. Het was op onze GPS wel 9km naar het meer, en en geen 5. De 11% klopte wel, maar al met al goed te doen als combinatie. Vanaf de voet van la Morte heb je er dan 1500 hoogtemeters opzitten, maar zeer de moeite waard. Prachtig uitzicht, geweldige rust - echt een aanrader
