I recommend this pass, whose ascent is effectively in two parts. The second part is rather long and monotonous, but you're lucky enough to come back down this way, so I think it's a little nugget: the landscape is revealed and you can pick up speed a lot.

Je recommande ce col dont l’ascension se fait effectivement en deux parties, la seconde partie est assez longue et monotone mais vous avez la chance de redescendre par ici alors c’est une petite pépite je trouve le paysage se dévoile et la prise de vitesse est importante

For me, this climb is in two parts. The first part, up to Plan de Baix, has lots of hairpins that make you realise how high you're getting. The second, after Plan de Baix, is mainly a straight line through pastures, pretty but monotonous. The surface is of good quality and there is relatively little traffic.

Pour moi, cette montée se déroule en deux partie. La première, jusqu'à plan de Baix propose de nombreuses épingles à cheveux qui permettent de se rendre compte de la prise de hauteur. La seconde, après plan de Baix, principalement en ligne droite au milieu des pâturages, jolie mais monotone. Le revêtement est de bonne qualité et la circulation relativement faible.

The first part was very pleasant, but once I'd passed Plan de Baix, I got really hot, in full sun (late May), with no wind to cool me down. I had to suffer to get to the pass.

Première partie très agréable, puis une fois passée Plan de Baix, j'ai eu un gros coup de chaud, en plein soleil (fin mai), aucun vent pour me rafraichir. J'ai souffert pour arriver au col.
