Not a very steep pass with a beautiful view over the valley. I'd recommend it. What's more, the descent to Vagney is fantastic.... read more

Col pas très raide avec une belle vue sur la vallée. Je recommande. En plus la descente vers Vagney est géniale

excellent climb for on an active rest day or after many kilometres. In the beginning after the roundabout, it is steep until after the second u-turn. After that, it's enjoy the views and spin the legs around a bit.

prima klim voor op een actieve rustdag of na veel kilometers. In het begin na de rotonde is het steil tot na de tweede u-bocht. Daarna is het genieten van het uitzicht en de beentjes wat rond te draaien.

Fine climb to warm up the legs. Nice view of the valley beyond, but otherwise nothing special.

Part of the May 2024 fondo.

Prima klim om de benen op te warmen. Aardig uitzicht op het dal ernaast, maar verder weinig bijzonder.

Onderdeel van de fondo van mei 2024.

A nice, easy climb with a great view.
At the top are the tracks of the 2023 Tour de France (via Cornimont).

Jolie montée, facile, avec une très belle vue.

Very nice climb and no heavy traffic. Nice tarmac road and wide clear descent. Definitely worthwhile

Très belle montée et pas de circulation dense. Belle route goudronnée et descente bien dégagée. Cela vaut vraiment la peine.

Steady climb, certainly not steep. Runs along a wide, through road. View over the valley during the climb is very beautiful.

Gelijkmatige klim, zeker niet steil. Loopt over een brede, doorgaande weg. Uitzicht tijdens de klim over de vallei is erg mooi.
