Good warm-up past a few stray houses through open countryside and on a quiet road. The tarmac is not super, but that doesn't matter for climbing. This one gets not 3 but 4 stars because of the beautiful panoramic road you can follow to the left after the summit on the Chemin du Haut des Bouchaux. This allows you to link the Col du Brabant with the second half of the Col de la Vierge from La Bresse with a nice intermediate section.... read more

Nice steep pimple. If you are a puncheur, you can make your cycling friends with climbing legs sweat for a while here. Nice road surface and an idyllic village on top.

Mooie stijle pukkel. Als je een puncheur bent, kan je hier je fietsvrienden met klimbenen even laten zweten. Mooi wegdek en een idyllisch dorpje bovenop.

Pretty tough climb over good road surface. I had to search a bit for where in LaBresse the climb starts, but I parked car on Rue des Proyes and started the climb from there.

Best pittige klim over goed wegdek. Ik moest even zoeken waar in LaBresse de klim start, maar ik heb auto geparkeerd op de Rue des Proyes en vanaf daar de klim begonnen.

Goede opwarmer langs een paar verdwaalde huizen door open landschap en op een rustige weg. Het asfalt is niet super, maar dat maakt voor het klimmen niet uit. Deze krijgt geen 3, maar 4 sterren door de prachtige panoramaweg die je linksaf na de top kan volgen over de Chemin du Haut des Bouchaux. Hiermee kun je de Col du Brabant met een mooi tussenstuk koppelen aan de tweede helft van de Col de la Vierge vanuit La Bresse.

Nice and quiet, short and without surprises. Came out of a descent so first part of the way I had to get my breathing back in order. Left after the church gives a nice view over La Bresse.

Lekker rustig, kort en zonder verrassingen. Kwam wel uit een afdaling dus eerste stuk even de ademhaling weer op orde brengen. Linksaf na het kerkje geeft een mooi uitzicht over La Bresse.
