It is a short strategic climb that leads from the Braus to Col Turini. The road is extremely quiet, narrow and bucolic. This mountain climb winds its way through forests. Let's say it is a good point to recover between the two hills. Especially at the top of this short pass... read more

È una breve Salita strategica che conduce dal Braus al Col Turini. La strada è estremamente tranquilla, stretta e bucolica. Tra boschi si snoda questa salita di montagna. Diciamo che è un buon punto per recuperare tra i due colli. Specialmente arrivati in cima a questo breve passo

Want a little extra on the Col de Braus? The Col de l'Ablé awaits you. It's a small, very clean road that climbs gently.
Having climbed it at night, I won't tell you about the scenery, but I can tell you that the forest is well inhabited...
The sounds of a forest at night are beautiful and mysterious.
At the top, this strange, twisted shack adds to the Hansel and Gretel atmosphere.

Un petit supplément au col de Braus ? Le col de l’Ablé vous attend. Petite route très propre qui grimpe avec douceur.
L’ayant monté de nuit, je ne vous parlerai pas du paysage mais je peux vous dire que la forêt est bien habitée…
C’est beau et mystérieux les bruits d’une forêt la nuit.
En haut, cette étrange bicoque biscornue qui participe à l’ambiance Hansel et Gretel.

I did this climb during the cyclosportive Drapoise souvenir René Vietto on 23 June 2024.
The climb connects to the Col de Braus; you turn left 400 metres before the sommet (D54) and then climb a bit through a beautiful natural area that eventually connects to the road to the col de Turini. Actually, you climb longer than if you were to complete the col de Braus.
So included in this Granfondorit for a reason!

Ik deed deze beklimming tijdens de cyclosportive Drapoise souvenir René Vietto op 23 juni 2024.
De beklimming sluit aan op de Col de Braus; je gaat 400 meter voor de sommet naar links (D54) en klimt dan nog een stuk door een prachtig natuurgebied dat uiteindelijk aansluit op de weg naar de col de Turini. Eigenlijk klim je langer door dan als je de col de Braus zou volmaken.
Dus niet voor niets opgenomen in deze Granfondorit!
