Do at the end of a loop containing the izoard to return to Briancon, a purge under the sun, but the landscapes are very beautiful and no traffic.

Faites à la fin d’une boucle contenant l’izoard pour revenir vers Briancon, une purge sous le soleil, mais les paysages sont très beau et aucune circulation

Part of the Boucle d'Izoard. For us, this was one of two ways to get back to our campsite. So it was often the end of a longer journey and therefore usually hurt. But the light traffic and the great view made up for it a little.

Teil der Boucle d‘Izoard. Für uns eine von zwei Möglichkeiten, zurück zu unserem Campingplatz zu gelangen. Es war also oft der Abschluss einer längeren Fahrt und tat daher meist weh. Aber der geringe Verkehr und die tolle Aussicht entschädigt dafür ein wenig.

While not a legendary Col, this is certainly a climb worth doing. Solid gradients, lots of twists and turns, and lovely scenery down the valley, all with next to no traffic. If the conditions are right, look out for gliders launching from the airfield.

A beautiful climb on a road which is a better alternative than the busy N94 which runs parallel to it. A nice 4 km steep climb or just to enjoy. Beautiful surroundings, winding road and good road surface. Oh, and very quiet too. Not to be missed if you're in the region.

Prachtig klimmetje op een weg die een beter alternatief is dan de drukke N94 die er evenwijdig aan ligt. Even lekker 4 kilometer beuken of gewoon genieten. Prachtige omgeving, kronkelend weggetje en een goed wegdek. Oh, en lekker rustig ook. Mag je eigenlijk niet missen als je in de regio bent.

What a wonderful and beautiful climb this is. A great view, a fine gradient and especially if you continue to Ponteil a considerable climb. From the shorter work around Briançon and Embrun, this is in my opinion one of the best. Nice to do together with the Izoard, Risoul, Vars or together with other top climbers in the area such as Mont Dauphin, Le Gros, Le Villard etc.

Wat een heerlijke en mooie klim is dit. Een geweldig uitzicht, een fijn stijgingspercentage en zeker als je doorklimt naar Ponteil een flinke klim. Van het kortere werk rondom Briançon en Embrun is dit wat mij betreft een van de mooiste. Leuk om samen te doen met de Izoard, Risoul, Vars of samen met andere toppers in de buurt zoals Mont Dauphin, Le Gros, Le Villard etc.
