From Valdrome there are signs indicating the gradient for the next km. Apart from the bit to get out of Valdrome, the first km is the steepest (7.2％) and each following km is slightly flatter until only 3.5％ for the last km. The col is not spectacular, only if you ride a little further you get a nice view. Actually, the attraction of this climb is that it is so wonderfully quiet...but quite hot in summer.

Vanuit Valdrome staan borden met steeds het stijgingspercentage van de volgende km. Afgezien van het stukje om Valdrome uit te komen is de eerste km de steilste (7.2％) en iedere volgende is steeds iets vlakker tot slechts 3.5％ voor de laatste km. De col is niet spectaculair, alleen als je een klein stukje doorrijdt heb je een mooi uitzicht. Eigenlijk is de attractie van deze klim dat hij zo heerlijk rustig is...maar wel behoorlijk warm in de zomer.
