Climbed on (Sunday) June 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. from St. Flour. Light traffic, beautiful road, fresh asphalt, a short section of bike path built from St. Flour (does not go all the way to the summit). Little shade, so be careful in hot weather. No amenities at the col. A nice ride if you’re in the area. A 14-km climb with gradients ranging from 0 to 9%. Views (in good weather) of St. Flour (see photo) and the Monts du Cantal.... read more

Beklommen op (zondag) 28 juni 2026, 's morgens om 0900 uur vanuit St. Flour. Weinig verkeer, mooie weg , nieuw asfalt, stukje fietspad aangelegd vanuit St. Flour (niet tot de top). Weinig schaduw, dus bij warm weer oppassen. Geen voorzieningen op de col. Leuk wanneer je in de buurt bent. Klim 14 km met percentages tussen 0 en 9％. Uitzichten (bij mooi weer) op St. Flour (zie foto) en de Monts du Cantal.

Disappointed with this climb. The road is very busy, runs alongside the motorway all the way and is very exposed to the wind. The climb does offer a pretty view of the Monts du Cantal, but the scenery at the top isn't worth the effort between the wind turbines and the A75.
From Saint-Flour, I'd recommend heading east towards Védrines-Saint-Loup, where there are some very fine climbs with magnificent scenery.

Déçu de cette montée. La route y est très fréquentée, longe l'autoroute tout du long et est très exposée au vent. La montée offre certes une jolie vue sur les monts du Cantal, mais le paysage en haut n'en vaut pas la peine entre les éoliennes et l'A75.
Depuis Saint-Flour, je recommande plutôt de partir vers l'Est en direction de Védrines-Saint-Loup, avec de très belles montées aux paysages magnifiques.
