Very nice climb out of la Turbie. Doable for beginners with a bit of training. Two “steep” part, the very beginning and the last 3.7k. The middle is flat/slight climb (max 2％) so it’s fairly easy. I recommend for the views and the historic aspect of the climb.

A classic here in the south! Very quick false flat onto a short and relatively steep final section. It kicks up towards the end beware.

This was Lance Armstrong’s “Test of Fitness” 2 weeks out from his TdF’s
We went up on a day that saw the top covered in fog and found some delicious Burrito’s in a coffee cart at the top (closes 3pm) the decent was completely clear no fog! A must do for cycling fans!

A big false flat to start with : The pass starts "really" after the Saint Pancrace pass, and so it is very short so not so interesting.
