This little-known pass is deserted by cars, and is a real delight in terms of peace and quiet! It's an easy climb, and the descent on the Pennes-le-Sec side is magnificent, with a few tight switchbacks. So be careful!... read more

Col méconnu et déserté par les voitures, un vrai bonheur de tranquillité ! Ascension facile, et la descente côté Pennes-le -Sec est magnifique et comporte quelques lacets bien serrés. Attention donc !

Spicy climb, with a tricky descent on the other side. T goes down steeply and the road is quite narrow. Bad luck that asphalt has also just been re-laid with gravel so grip is really low.

Pittige klim, met een lastige afdaling aan de andere kant. T gaat steil naar beneden en de weg is vrij smal. Pech dat er ook net opnieuw asfalt is gelegd met grind waardoor de grip echt laag is.

Nice climb, nice length and nice gradients. Nice views along the steep cliffs halfway up.

Leuke klim, mooie lengte en lekkere stijgingspercentages. Halverwege mooi uitzicht langs de steile rotswanden.
