Ah the Col de cou via les Ruppes... Terrible sections, a small flat area with a descent to get back on track 3km from the summit, just after the steepest section, which you can't see on the profile.
The road is subject to the vagaries of nature (subsidence, falling rocks) despite the presence of forest in some places.
A climb not to be underestimated.
Be careful, too, as some "rally drivers" like to venture up it...
Ah le col de cou par les Ruppes... Des passages terribles, un petit replat avec descente pour se refaire à 3km du sommet, juste après le passage le plus pentu et que l'on ne voit pas sur le profil.
La route subit les aléas de la nature (affaissement, chute de pierres) malgré la présence de la forêt à certains endroits.
Une montée à ne pas sous-estimer.
Prudence également, certains "pilotes de rallye" aiment s'y aventurer...
