A nice climb from our holiday village. The road surface leaves much to be desired in some places. Certainly in the descent take this into account! You ride mainly through the forest. Now and then you get a glimpse of the Pyrenees. At the top, however, the view is fantastic. The first km's are ideal to warm up. After km 3, the gradient increases and never goes down again.

Take the Col de Portel, which is right next to it.

Fijne klim vanuit ons vakantiedorp. Het wegdek laat hier en daar wel te wensen over. Zeker in de afdaling rekening mee houden! Je rijdt voornamelijk doorheen bos. Af en toe krijg je en glimp van de Pyreneeën te zien. Bovenaan is het uitzicht echter fantastisch. De eerste km's zijn ideaal om op te warmen. Na km 3 neemt het stijgingspercentage toe om nooit meer te zakken. Hier en daar kom je ook wat vee tegen, maar dat is de charme van de Pyreneeën.
Neem er nog even de Col de Portel bij, die ligt er vlak naast.
