Super nice climb through the lightly forested mountain sides of the Cevennes. Just before the summit, you come into a very picturesque village with a bakery where you can get fresh croissants. At the last bend before the village, look left for a beautiful vista. You can also enter the church here, or look over the wall or past the gate into the old cemetery.... read more

Super mooie beklimming door de licht beboste bergflanken van de Cevennes. Vlak voor de top kom je in een heel pittoresk dorpje met een bakker waar je verse croissants kan halen. Kijk in de laatste bocht voor het dorpje eens links voor een prachtig vergezicht. Je kan hier ook het kerkje binnen gaan, of over het muurtje of langs het poortje eens in het oude kerkhof binnenkijken.

A very nice pass without too much difficulty. A climb that starts out quite cool and ends up being 2-3 km steeper. The road is very narrow and totally deserted, you almost feel like an adventurer. A good landscape awaits you at the top on the slope towards St-Martial.
I advise you to climb the Col du Mercou before arriving at the Col de l'Asclier because the descent before this pass is very nice and you will avoid taking the main roads.

très chouette col sans trop de difficulté. Une montée qui commence assez cool et qui se termine avec 2-3 km plus raides. Route très étroite et totalement déserte, on se sent presque aventurier mdr. Un bon paysage vous attend en haut sur le versant qui donne vers St-Martial.
Je vous conseille de monter le col du Mercou avant d'arriver au Col de l'Asclier car la descente avant ce col est très belle et vous évitera de prendre des grandes routes.

This climb has an alternative that runs parallel to the D153: a shorter and steeper goat path with a road surface that you only want to go down with a MTB. However, the climb is well worth it if you like steep, desolate and rough. Don't you? Then stay away.
From Bourras the climb follows the road as it is mentioned here and that is over (quite) good road surface with a nice passage through Saint-Romain-de-Cordières.
The part before this climb, between Saint-Hyppolyte-du-Fort and Cros, along the Vidourle, is also worthwhile (although not a "real" climb).

Deze beklimming heeft een alternatief dat parallel aan de D153 loopt: een korter en steiler geitenpad met een wegdek waar je enkel met een MTB mee omlaag wilt. De klim is echter zeer de moeite waard als je van steil, verlaten en ruig houdt. Doe je dat niet? Blijf dan weg.
Vanaf Bourras volgt de klim de weg zoals deze hier wordt vermeld en die is over (vrij) goed wegdek met een fraaie passage door Saint-Romain-de-Cordières.
Het stuk voor deze klim, tussen Saint-Hyppolyte-du-Fort en Cros, langs de Vidourle, is trouwens ook serieus de moeite waard (hoewel niet een “echte” klim).
