Just tried to do this one after already having done Val Thorens completely, cracked at the end of this climb 200m from the top KRAMP and finito. The climb itself is on a billiard level road and forbidden for motorised traffic, great little climb but oh so hard end....

Very tricky col with an insane finish. According to Strava up to 27.7％.
Wonderful experience without cars. You are completely cut off from the world. Only the sound of animals. A bit of the MTB experience on the bike.
