Tackled uphill from Montjovet with a descent to Challand Saint Victor on the SR45 of the Valle d'Ayas. This is a tough climb not to be underestimated, to be tackled early in the morning as it is almost entirely exposed to the sun during the hottest hours. The section between Petit-Hoel and Le Grand-Hoel is the most difficult with gradients often over 10% with peaks ranging between 11 and 13%. Good road surface and fairly little traffic.

Tackled uphill from Montjovet with a descent to Challand Saint Victor on the SR45 of the Valle d'Ayas. This is a tough climb not to be underestimated, to be tackled early in the morning as it is almost entirely exposed to the sun during the hottest hours. The section between Petit-Hoel and Le Grand-Hoel is the most difficult with gradients often over 10% with peaks ranging between 11 and 13%. Good road surface and fairly little traffic. In the final 1.5 km section at Le Grande-Hoel, the gradients become much less harsh and you begin to enjoy the splendid views of the valley and the mountains on the opposite side. Water supply on the road at Le Grande-Hoel. At the top of the climb there is nothing, not even a sign identifying the pass and its height, making it all a little anonymous. It should also be combined in a tour with Col Tzecore and Col de Joux.

Affrontata in salita da Montjovet con discesa a Challand Saint Victor sulla SR45 della Valle d'Ayas. Si tratta di una salita dura da non sottovalutare, da affrontare la mattina presto in quanto quasi integralmente esposta al sole nelle ore più calde. Il tratto tra le Petit-Hoel e Le Grand-Hoel è quello più ostico con pendenze spesso over 10% con punte che oscillano tra il 11 e il 13%. Manto stradale buono e traffico abbastanza scarso. Nel tratto finale di 1,5 km a Le Grande-Hoel, le pendenze diventano molto meno dure e si comincia a godere dello splendido panorama sulla Valle e sulle montagne del versante opposto. Rifornimento idrico sulla strada a Le Grande-Hoel. In cima alla salita non c'è nulla, nemmeno un cartello che individui il colle e la sua altezza, rendendo il tutto un po' anonimo. Da abbinare in un giro anche con il Col Tzecore e il Col de Joux.
