Let op geen schaduw!

Een geweldig landschap en een niet al te zware col. Het uitzicht op de wilde natuur en de 'L'hers' is verbluffend mooi. Alleen al vanwege het landschap een echte aanrader. Let wel op trouwens, je vindt geen schaduw op deze klim wat hem een stukje pittiger maakt op warme zomerdagen.

If it is not too foggy, you have a nice view. But it is also beautiful once you are above the clouds. In the tour I cycled from Tarascon there was also Col d'Agnes, Col de Saraillé, Col de Caugnous, Col du Port.
