A pleasant, gentle climb surrounded by many others (Col du Buis, Col de Félines, Villevieille...). It's a lovely spot for a good series of more or less difficult climbs.
The road is quite good and mostly deserted. The gradients are gentle.
The whole surrounding area is wonderfully wooded.
At the top, there is nothing but the sign for the pass....read more

Une petite ascension sympathique et douce entourée de tout plein d’autres (Col du Buis, Col de Félines, Villevieille…).
Un joli coin pour se faire un bon parcours de grimpettes plus ou moins difficiles.
La route est assez bonne et elle est surtout déserte. Les pourcentages sont doux.
Toute la zone environnante est formidablement boisée.
Là haut, rien d’autre que le panneau du col.

A nice climb. Not too steep. A climb like I like them, so one you can enjoy, one that never gets boring and doesn't really tire you, even though there are a few nasty bits in it. If you come from Entrevaux, instead of going straight through to the col du Buis you take a left onto the D10 towards Castellet/La Rochette. A beautiful, rugged landscape as far as the eye can see. That D10 is very narrow. Oncoming traffic cannot cross, so one always has to pull over. Now, that is not immediately a problem, as I did not encounter a car on the entire climb, and the descent back. The asphalt is of good quality, though.
Een leuke klim. Niet te steil. Een klim zoals ik ze graag heb, dus eentje waar je van kan genieten, een die nooit verveelt en waar je niet echt moe van wordt, al zitten er een paar venijnige stukjes in. Als je van Entrevaux komt neem je ipv recht door naar de col du Buis te rijden links af de D10 op richting Castellet/La Rochette. Een prachtig, ruig landschap zo ver het oog reikt. Die D10 is erg smal. Tegenliggers kunnen elkaar niet kruisen, dus eentje moet er altijd aan de kant. Nu, dat is niet direct een probleem, want ik ben op de hele klim, en de afdaling terug niet een auto tegengekomen. Het asfalt is wel van goede kwaliteit.

The Serre climb is always hairy with its 13％ but from Castellet, the pass is hyper regular and is very pleasant to climb! Probably my favourite of the area!
La montée de la Serre est toujours velue avec ses 13％ mais à partir de Castellet, le col est hyper régulier et est très agréable à monter ! Très bien ensoleillé en hiver et une belle ombre portée par les pins en fin d'après-midi en été. De très bonnes conditions pour rouler et une magnifique vue sur leval de Chalvagne en montant !Sûrement mon col préféré du coin !
You don't need special gearing for Col de Trebuchet. The slope isn't long or steep enough to require much shifting down. You can conquer this climb on power alone. However, a compact gearing system with a smallest front chainring of 34 and largest rear sprocket of 28 or 30 is always nice if you enjoy cycling uphill. This helps maintain a smooth cadence.
Col de Trebuchet is a 3rd-category climb. Almost anyone can handle this climb, as long as you have a bike with climbing gears. If you have little training, you will probably need to shift down significantly. For experienced riders, Col de Trebuchet is not a problem.
