I don't understand the lower scores below, while the comments are mostly positive. Indeed a very nice and quiet col among the trees. No vistas but definitely worth integrating into your ride.... read more

Ik begrijp de lagere scores hieronder niet, terwijl de commentaar voornamelijk positief is. Inderdaad een zeer mooie en rustige col tussen de bomen. Geen vergezichten maar wel zeker de moeite om deze te integreren in je rit.

Nice, steady climb through a beautiful forest. A narrower road, on which you won't encounter any traffic. Recommended on warm, sunny days. Asphalt is OK. Descent just about.

Part of the fondo in May 2024.

Leuke, gelijkmatige klim door een mooi bos. Een smallere weg, waarop je geen verkeer tegen gaat komen. Aanrader op warme, zonnige dagen. Asfalt is oké. Afdaling net aan.

Onderdeel van de fondo in mei 2024.

The climb goes largely through the forest, which is nice when it is warm. In both the climb and the descent to Ramonchamp, the road surface is moderate to poor.

Klim loopt grotendeels door het bos, dat is prettig als het warm is. Zowel in de klim, als in de afdaling naar Ramonchamp is het wegdek matig tot slecht.

This side is the easy side, asphalt is a bit less but good to cycle. Nice climb without crazy percentages, goes up evenly.

Deze kant is de makkelijke kant, asfalt is wat minder maar goed te fietsen. Mooie klim zonder gekke percentages, loopt gelijkmatig omhoog.
