What a discovery for me! I don't understand why this pass isn't better known. The scenery is breathtaking. The climb itself isn't the most difficult on this side, but coming from Léoncel and coupling it with the Col de Bacchus, it would be a magnificent stage in the Tour de France.... read more

Quelle découverte pour moi ! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce col n’est pas plus connu. Les paysages sont à couper le souffle. La montée en elle-même n’est pas des plus difficiles de ce côté-là, mais en venant de Léoncel et en couplant avec le col de Bacchus, ce serait une étape magnifique au Tour de France.

A very enjoyable climb, but above all a very enjoyable summit. Don't be fooled by the descent in the middle of the climb!

Montée mais surtout sommet très apreciable. Ne pas se laisser avoir par la descente au milieu de la montée !

Nice alternative to the pass, less hard with some downhill passages, beautiful view in some places during the trip and at the finish

Alternative sympa du col, moins dure avec des passages en descente, magnifique vue à certains endroits durant le trajet ainsi qu'à l'arrivée

The Col de la Bataille fits nicely together with the Machine or the Rousset in a tour. Just like the Col de la Machine, you have here virtually the empire for yourself. The road surface is top, the heat can be sweltering. There is no place in the area to refill your water, so cross the plateau with full water bottles. I found the climb to feel tougher than the elevation profile suggests. The downhill to Léoncel can be hard because of the good road surface.

De Col de la Bataille past mooi samen met de Machine of de Rousset in een rondrit. Net als de Col de la Machine heb je hier nagenoeg het rijk voor jezelf alleen. Het wegdek is top, de hitte kan zinderend zijn. Er is in de omgeving geen plek om je water bij te vullen, dus steek het plateau over met volle bidons. Ik vond de klim zwaarder voelen dan het hoogteprofiel doet vermoeden. De downhill naar Léoncel kan door het goede wegdek loeihard
