I had ridden it down a year before and wanted to do it uphill, so much did I love the scenery. This time, I had hail, a headwind for the last kilometer, and less than 10°C at the top in the middle of May. I was a bit chilled.... read more

I had ridden it down a year before and wanted to do it uphill, so much did I love the scenery. This time, I had hail, a headwind for the last kilometer, and less than 10°C at the top in the middle of May. I was a bit chilled.

Je l'avais descendu un an auparavant et je voulais la faire en montée tellement j'ai aimé le paysage. Cette fois, j'ai eu averse de grêle, vent de face sur dernier kilomètre, moins de 10° en arrivant en haut en plein mois de mai. J'ai été un peu refroidi.

Already ridden 24-07-2019, temperature was 40 degrees in the valley (!) but once up a fine 25. First the Col de la croix Millet and then via Jaujac (nice terrace under the trees) to the top and of course the road to the ski station. Then we descended via Col de Meyrand.

Reeds gereden 24-07-2019, temperatuur was in het dal 40 graden (!) maar eenmaal boven een fijne 25. Rondje vanuit Largentiere, Eerst de Col de la croix Millet en dan via Jaujac (lekker terrasje meepikken onder de bomen) naar de top en uiteraard de weg naar het skistation meegepikt. Vervolgens afgedaald via Col de Meyrand.

Very nice pleasant climb with beautiful surroundings. Also with the Meyrand and the Croix de Millet a beautiful trip ahead that is quite tough. Jaujac as a base is a must (Terrace). Swimming and refreshment can in La Souche in the Lignon.

Heel mooie aangename klim met prachtige omgeving. Ook met de Meyrand en de Croix de Millet een prachtige tocht voor de boeg die best pittig is. Jaujac als uitvalsbasis is een aanrader (Terrasje). Zwemmen en verfrissen kan in La Souche in de Lignon.

Magnificent col, seemingly endless, but so pleasantly fresh and wonderful to climb in a constant cadence, with the most beautiful panoramas as a reward. Sublime.
(I combined the Croix de Millet, this Croix de Bauzon and the Meyrand from Sampzon; 119 km with 2100 hm).

Schitterende col, ogenschijnlijk eindeloos, maar zo fijn fris en heerlijk te beklimmen in een constante kadans, met de prachtigste panorama’s als beloning. Subliem.

Yesterday, 23-7-2015, we started the climb from Jaujac. The tour de france passed the top of this mountain last Sunday and decided to have a look myself. The climb is doable but can be tough partly due to the heat.

Gisteren, 23-7-2015 de beklimming vanuit Jaujac aangevangen. De tour de france kwam afgelopen zondag over de top van deze berg en besloot om zelf een keer te gaan kijken. De klim is goed te doen maar kan mede door de hitte toch pittig zijn.
