Quite a busy road, especially on the second part, but a very rolling pass, regular slope, most of the time in the shade. The view at the top over Lake Geneva and the Alps is superb.

Route assez fréquentée, surtout sur la deuxième partie, mais col très roulant, pente régulière, la plupart du temps à l'ombre. La vue en haut sur le lac Léman et les Alpes est superbe.

Busy road (on Sunday), but nice view (in clear weather you can see the Mont Blanc).

Drukke weg (op zondag), wel mooi uitzicht (bij helder weer is de Mont Blanc te zien).
