A great pass despite its length. Be careful not to go too fast.

Super col malgré sa longueur. Attention à ne pas partir trop vite.

A pass that deserves the detour
Very moderate start but from km 7 it starts to climb up to the pass percentage 7a 8 for 7 km
With a nice sun the descent to Seix is great

Col qui merite le detour
Depart très modéré mais a partir du km 7 ca commence a monter jusqu au col pourcentage 7a 8 pendant 7 km
Avec un beau soleil tres plaisant a faire la descente sur seix est super

A tougher climb than I had estimated. Cycled in the fog. No reward for the view at the top unfortunately!

Een pittigere klim dan ik had ingeschat. In de mist gefietst. Geen beloning van het uitzicht aan de top helaas!

Beautiful col but that nice roll and not have to suffer hard... I didn't notice anything of that.

Prachtige col maar dat lekker rollen en niet keihard hoeven af te zien... daar heb ik niets van gemerkt.
