Wow, a wild, hidden pass in the second half with some real gradients! All this in a mountainous, forested setting. It's not impossible to come across a few goats on the road just before the summit!... read more

Wow ! Col caché et sauvage pour sa seconde moitié qui offre de vrais pourcentages ! Le tout dans un décors montagnard et forestier. Il n'est pas impossible de croiser quelques chèvres sur la route peu avant le sommet !
