One of the easiest long passes I've ever done, the gradient is never very steep. The climb is mainly in the woods, so it's in the shade, with some sections offering a very fine view of the Ax valley.

L'un des longs cols les plus faciles que j'ai pu faire, la pente n'est jamais très raide. La montée se fait principalement dans les bois, donc à l'ombre, avec certains passages offrant une très belle vue sur la vallée d'Ax. Comme l'a dit un commentaire précédent : une fois au sommet, poursuivez la montée vers le col du Chioula pour la très belle descente vers Ax.

I joined this climb from Bestiac, roughly 3km up the climb, with over 13km to go.
This is a "green" road, mostly in the shade of the forest. The few vantage points provide welcoming views. When on top, you may continue a few minutes towards Chioula for a speedy descent with great flow and banked hairpins on partly new tarmac.
