I have ridden all the passes around here but I don't remember climbing the Col de L'Epine by this version or it has been a long time.
In any case, it's now done on the 17th of March 2022.
The foot really starts in St Ferréol and not in Serraval, which gives 14,3km for a little more difference in altitude.
No major difficulty, just two slightly difficult sections, between Le Villard and Le Bouchet in a long straight line and a little before the pass, the summit is at 947M but the high point of the route is at 968M... as this version is downhill.
The road surface is good to average and the traffic is moderate between Serraval and Co, and a little heavier between St Ferréol and Serraval.
At this time of the year there is still snow on the summits which gives a different aspect to the landscapes compared to the July-August period.
Have a good trip and be careful
J'ai écumé tout les cols du coin mais je ne me souviens pas avoir monté au col de L'Epine par cette version ou alors ça fait bien longtemps.
En tout cas c'est maintenant fait le 17 mars 2022.
Le pied commence vraiment à St Ferréol et non pas à Serraval, ce qui donne 14,3km pour un peu plus de dénivelé.
Pas de difficulté majeure, juste 2 portions un peu ardues, entre Le Villard et le Bouchet dans une longue ligne droite et un peu avant le col, le sommet est à 947M mais le point haut de la route est à 968M... puisque par cette version on arrive en descente.
Etat du bitume bon à moyen et circulation modérée entre Serraval et le Col, un peu plus dense entre St Ferréol et Serraval.
A cette période de l'année il reste encore de la neige sur les sommets ce qui donne un autre aspect aux paysages par rapport à la période Juillet Aout.
Bonne route et prudence
