Climbed on July 3, 2026. Good road and little traffic. It was very hot, though, on a warm summer day (in the afternoon). Climbed this pass in the morning from St. Jean de Bruel. The Alzon side might be a bit easier. There are no facilities at the pass, but there is a pass sign. The views and typical Aveyron scenery make this climb appealing. The pass is located practically on the Gard/Aveyron border.... read more

Beklommen op 3 juli 2026. Goede weg en weinig verkeer. Wel erg warm op een warme zomerdag ('s middags). In de ochtend deze col beklommen vanuit St Jean de Bruel. Wellicht is de kant Alzon iets eenvoudiger. Op de col geen faciliteiten, maar wel een colbord. Uitzichten en typische natuur van Aveyron maken deze klim aantrekkelijk. Col ligt praktisch op de grens Gard/Aveyron.
