One of my favorite training passes in the area... Difficult at first via the Croix de Cheules above Lac des Graves, then almost flat between ferns and meadows, then on a moderate, steady percentage through conifers for its finale.

Un de mes cols favoris dans le secteur pour faire l'entraînement... Au début difficile par la Croix de Cheules au dessus du lac des Graves puis presque plat entre fougères et prairies puis sur un pourcentage modéré et régulier dans les conifères pour son final.
