Not a very interesting climb, much less so than from Die. The same is true of the view from the top: much nicer to the south (Die) than to the north.... read more

Not a very interesting climb, much less so than from Die. The same is true of the view from the top: much nicer to the south (Die) than to the north.

Montée pas très intéressante, beaucoup moins qu'en montant à partir de Die. C'est vrai aussi pour la vue en haut : nettement plus jolie vers le sud (Die) que vers le nord.

Personally, after crossing the Vercors from top to bottom with my panniers from Grenoble, I was quite happy with this "depressing" pass with its false flat. It would have killed me if it had been harder. It was a good little pass to finish the day, nothing depressing or unpleasant in itself with the I on the other side of the tunnel, which was a pleasure.

Personnellement après avoir traversé le Vercors de haut en bas avec les sacoches a partir de Grenoble, j'étais bien content de ce col "déprimant" avec ce faux plat. Ça m'aurait tué que ce soit plus hard. Bon petit col pour finir la journée pépère, rien de déprimant ou désagréable en soi avec la je de l'autre côté du tunnel qui fait plaisir

More downhill than uphill. Useful for making a loop, you don't even have to go all the way to Roussy to turn left again, but it would be a shame not to drop in if you've never been there.

A faire en descente plus qu’en montée. Utile pour faire une boucle, même pas obligé d aller jusqu’à Roussy pour rebifurquer à gauche, mais si proche du but ça serait dommage de ne pas y faire un saut si vous n’y êtes jamais passer.

Not great, lots of false flats. Too long, depressing because not enough hairpins! The interest is especially after the tunnel!

Pas top, beaucoup de faux plats. Trop long, déprimant car pas assez d’épingles! L’intérêt est surtout après le tunnel!

I didn't really like this pass from Saint Agnan. Too long, not steep enough. A bit like the Lautaret... On the other hand, I loved the view once I reached the top. The real col de Rousset is climbed from Die. The road is beautiful and it is a real pass.

Je n'ai pas vraiment aimé ce col depuis Saint Agnan. Trop long, pas assez pentu. Un peu comme le Lautaret... Par contre, j'ai adoré la vue une fois arrivé en haut. Le vrai col de Rousset se grimpe depuis Die. La route est magnifique et c'est un vrai col.
