A great ride. Does get steep in many sections. Beautiful scenery. Moderate traffic. Nice pavement. Lots of other bicycles. Highly recommend this ride.

It's a long way from Menton, but, especially after St Agnes, the views are magnificent. Don't be fooled by the low percentages indicated, which are averages over 1km, because it climbs much higher in places!

La route est longue depuis Menton, mais, et surtout après St Agnes, les vues sont magnifiques, ne pas se fier aux faibles pourcentages d’indiqués qui sont des moyennes sur 1km car cela monte bien plus endroit !

The ascent of this col, which inspired the Trek Madone, starts steeply towards Sainte-Agnès. The first part is quite tough. Fortunately, the beautiful views of the Côte d'Azur and St Agnès make up for a lot. In the afternoon, there are many stretches with shade. After Sainte-Agnès, it flattens out and you leave the urban area and via a steady climb, doable but in the sun, you eventually reach the car park at the summit.

De beklimming van deze col, die de inspiratie gaf voor de Trek Madone, begint steil in de richting van Sainte‑Agnès. Het eerste deel is behoorlijk pittig. Gelukkig maken de mooie uitzichten op de Côte d'Azur en St Agnès veel goed. In de namiddag zijn er veel stukken met schaduw. Na Sainte‑Agnès wordt het vlakker en verlaat je de stedelijke omgeving en via een gestage klim, goed te doen maar in de zon, kom je uiteindelijk op de parkeerplaats op de top.

Nice and challenging pass with its more than 6％ average and its 15 kilometers, I find that it's a good test to make an assessment on its level and especially in the current context of the return to school for the resumption!

Beau col bien challengeant avec ses plus de 6％ de moyenne et ses 15 bornes, je trouve que c'est un bon test pour faire un bilan sur son niveau et notamment dans le contexte actuel de la rentrée pour la reprise !
