I did it in June in fairly stifling heat because there's not much air in many parts of the climb, even in early June! After that, there's quite a bit of traffic, even in June, so it's not the best pass, to be honest, but the road afterwards is very nice, so I'd still recommend doing it, plus there's no steep sections // it took me 35 minutes of bikepacking with gravel bikes weighing 18kg.

Fait en juin sous une chaleur assez étouffante car dans beaucoup de parties de la montée il n'y a pas trop d'air même en début juin ! Après pour la circulation il y en a pas mal même en juin donc c'est pas le meilleur col honnêtement mais après la route après est très belle donc je recommande quand même de le faire de plus il n'y a aucun pourcentage raide // monté en 35 minute en bikepacking avec des gravel pesant 18 kg

A very beautiful climb, immersed in the wildest nature of Corsica, the ascent is pleasant with a road with little traffic and in good condition, the finishing point is very scenic.

Salita paesaggisticamente molto bella, immersi nella natura più selvaggia della Corsica, la salita è piacevole con una strada poco trafficata e in buone condizioni, il punto di arrivo è molto panoramico.
