Extension of Col Saint Barnabé to the small ski station of Vauplane. Another few kilometres uphill. Worthwhile if you're in the area anyway. Climb itself is not spectacular... read more

Verlengstuk van de Col Saint Barnabé naar het kleine skistation Vauplane. Nog een paar kilometer omhoog. De moeite waard als je toch in de buurt bent. Klim zelf is niet spectaculair

After the top of Col Saint Barnabé, you can continue cycling uphill for a few kilometres. To Vauplane station, a small ski resort. There was nothing to do at the summit, nor was the climb very spectacular. But if you're in the area anyway, well worth the extra kilometres

Na de top van de Col Saint Barnabé kun je nog een paar kilometer door omhoog fietsen. Naar het station Vauplane, een klein skigebiedje. Op de top was niets te beleven en de klim was ook niet heel spectaculair. Maar als je toch al in de buurt bent wel de extra kilometers waard

Once you've reached the Col de Saint Barnabé, don't skip this cute little climb up to the Stade de neige.
The road is good. The climb is short but very pleasant.
At the top, you're at an altitude of 1700m, and outside the ski season, it's a strange end of the world, a no-man's-land.
Just this formidable peeled mountain...
And the wind! This wind that tries its hardest to bring down the ski lifts from another era. Far West atmosphere.
A must! 4 stars for the special atmosphere.

Arrivé au col de Saint Barnabé, ne faites surtout pas l’impasse sur cette mignonne petite montée du Stade de neige.
La route est bonne. L’ascension est courte mais très agréable.
En haut, on est à 1700m d’altitude et hors saison de ski, c’est un bien étrange bout du monde, un absolu no man’s land.
Juste cette formidable montagne pelée…
Et le vent ! Ce vent qui s’échine à essayer de faire plier ces remontées mécaniques d’un autre temps. Ambiance far west.
À faire ! 4 étoiles pour l’atmosphère particulière.

At the top of St Barnabé, you can climb to the 250-metre-high ski station. The self-service restaurant would only be open during the winter season. Barren mountains, ideal for ski slopes, covered with grass.... ideal for the hundreds of sheep I saw there. I had a conversation with one of the shepherds about the many wolves in the area. Hence my abnormal climbing time. Be careful: Don't get too close to the herd... the guard dogs are very alert. With a good mtb or gravel bike, you could cross the forest to Le Touyet and Ubraye to get to the Col de Laval. Whether it's doable on a road bike I don't dare say.

Op de top van St.-Barnabé kan je naar het 250-tal meter hoger gelegen skistation klimmen. Het zelfbedieningsrestaurant zou enkel in het winterseizoen open zijn. Kale bergen, ideaal om skipistes aan te leggen, bedekt met gras.... ideaal voor de honderden schapen die ik er zag. Ik hed er n.b. een gesprek met een van de herders, aangaande de vele wolven in de buurt. Vandaar ook mijn abnormale klimtijd. Opgepast: Niet te kort in de buurt van de kudde komen... de waakhonden zijn zéér alert. Met een goede mtb of gravelbike zou je de doorsteek door het bos kunne maken naar Le Touyet en Ubraye om alzo op de col de Laval te geraken. Of het met een racefiets te doen is durf ik niet zeggen.

Climb which ends in the small ski station Vauplane. Some extra height meters from the Col de Saint-Barnabé for those who want. It can be chilly, a jacket for the descent is useful.

Klim die doodloopt op het kleine skistation Vauplane. Beetje extra hoogtemeters vanop de Col de Saint-Barnabé voor wie wil. Het kan er wel fris zijn, een jasje voor de afdaling is nuttig.

Finish your climb to Col de St Barnabé with this climb to an old (deserted?) ski station. It's really a one-way road (at least on a race bike, you may continue on an MTB to cross the mountain).
