The gradients up to the pass are very gentle, with a crescendo as the climb progresses, but nothing too serious... Most of the pass is dominated by beautiful fir trees, then suddenly, after leaving behind an archaeological site, the forest gives way to summer pastures, ending with a splendid view of the Cantal mountains! ... read more

The gradients up to the pass are very gentle, with a crescendo as the climb progresses, but nothing too serious... Most of the pass is dominated by beautiful fir trees, then suddenly, after leaving behind an archaeological site, the forest gives way to summer pastures, ending with a splendid view of the Cantal mountains!

Les pourcentages du col sont très abordables, la pente évolue crescendo au fil de la montée mais rien de méchant... La majorité du col se fait sur un terrain dominé par de beaux sapins puis soudainement, après avoir laissé un site archéologique, la foret laisse place aux estives pour finir avec une vue splendide sur les monts du Cantal !
