Beginning with hairpin bends and views of surrounding rocks makes it a very nice climb. I myself did the alternative by riding up after Les Moulins towards Le Bas de Laisia, this climb they also rode up during the 2017 Tour.... read more

Beautiful climb. Especially first stretch is beautiful. Last part after Septmoncel mainly 'false flat'. Nice to do and include in your route if you are in the area anyway

Mooie klim. Vooral eerste stuk is prachtig. Laatste stuk na Septmoncel vooral 'vals plat'. Leuk om te doen en in je route op te nemennals je toch in de buurt bent

The beginning of the pass is difficult but we quickly get back to lower percentages. The landscape is rather nice compared to the surroundings.

Début de col difficile mais on retombe assez vite sur des pourcentages plus faibles. Le paysage est plutôt sympa comparé aux alentours.

Nice climb, never really steep so you can ride up smoothly and enjoy the beautiful views of the valley. Can sometimes be quite a lot of traffic on this climb, so it is recommended to ride it outside of rush hours. Then you can fully enjoy this beautiful, very varied climb!

Leuke klim, nooit echt heel stijl waardoor je soepel naar boven kan rijden en genieten van het prachtige uitzicht over de vallei. Kan soms redelijk wat verkeer op deze klim zitten, dus het is aan te raden om hem buiten de spitsuren te rijden. Dan kan ten volle genieten van deze mooie, zeer gevarieerde klim!

Beginstuk met haardspeldbochten en uitzicht op omliggende rotsen maakt het een zeer mooie beklimming. Ik heb zelf het alternatief gedaan door na Les Moulins omhoog te rijden richting Le Bas de Laisia, deze klim reden ze ook omhoog tijdens de Tour van 2017.
