The climb on this side is long, and very uneven up to the village of Gourdon (La Planche). From there the road winds through the mountains for 6％ metres to the summit. It's a tiring but truly magnificent pass where the Ardèche landscapes come one after the other, all on a small road, little used but in good condition. A pass I'd recommend!... read more

La montée de ce côté là est longue, et très irrégulière jusqu'au village de Gourdon (La Planche). La pente n'est pas excessive mais ça reste "usant". Et ensuite, à partir de là, la route serpente dans la montagne sur du 6％ jusqu'au sommet. C'est un col usant mais vraiment magnifique où les paysages ardéchois se succèdent, le tout sur une petite route, peu fréquentée mais en bon état. Un col que je recommande !
