What a tough climb! My Garmin showed me a maximum gradient of 22％. You have to grit your teeth and hope it's not too windy. I was pleasantly surprised at the state of the road, I'd expected something catastrophic looking at StreetView but the surface is good.

What a tough climb! My Garmin showed me a maximum gradient of 22％. You have to grit your teeth and hope it's not too windy. I was pleasantly surprised at the state of the road, I'd expected something catastrophic looking at StreetView but the surface is good.

It's a climb that requires some preparation, but it's well worth the diversions, especially for locals as it's the highest road in the Tarn.

Qu'elle est dure cette montée ! Mon Garmin m'a affiché une pente maximale de 22％. Il faut serrer les dents et espérer qu'il n'y ait pas trop de vent. J'ai été agréablement surpris de l'état de la route, je m'attendais à quelque chose de catastrophique en regardant sur StreetView mais le revêtement est bon. Une fois que vous dépassez le lieu-dit Griffoulou, le plus dur est derrière vous (les passages à 6％ vous paraîtront plats !). Une ascension qui demande une certaine préparation, mais qui vaut largement le détour, surtout pour les locaux puisqu'il s'agit de la plus haute route du Tarn.
