Climbed on 27 June 2023. Variant via St Just and Le Cros (D251 and D 256) is very nice through beautiful forest and very steep sections above 10％. The climb is then 14.35 km with an average of just over 3％. It took me (pace cyclotourist) 1 hour and 2 minutes. Glad I got to the top! Good road surface, plenty of shade, can be 'chilly early in the morning ! Little traffic on this variant. Worthy that this variant is also mentioned on this site. On the col an auberge.... read more

Beklommen op 27 juni 2023. Variant via St Just en Le Cros (D251 en D 256) is erg leuk door prachtig bos en erg steile stukken boven de 10％. De klim is dan 14.35 km met een gemiddelde van even meer dan 3％. Ik deed er (tempo cyclotoerist) 1 uur en 2 minuten over. Blij dat ik boven was! Goed wegdek, voldoende schaduw, kan 's morgens vroeg fris zijn ! Weinig verkeer op deze variant. Het is het waard dat deze variant ook op deze site wordt vermeld. Op de col een auberge.
