Just a quiet climb through a gorge that gradually changes into a quiet forest. Along the way I saw deer, boars and lots of lizards. There was not much traffic until just before the pass. About two kilometers before the end you turn onto a larger road. There are still some cars. At the top is a bar where you can get coffee and a sandwich. Water can be refilled in Agnières.

The road surface is good. The descent on the other side is quite straight and that lends itself to rock-hard speeds. I wish I had a 54 mounted, then I could have gone even faster. Pure downhill pleasure this one.
In een woord prachtig deze klim. Verwacht geen moordende stijgingspercentages, daarvoor moet je elders zijn. Gewoon rustig klimmen door een kloof die langzaamaan overgaat in een rustig bos. Onderweg zag ik herten, zwijnen en heel veel hagedisjes. Veel verkeer was er niet tot vlak voor de col. Zo’n twee kilometer voor het einde draai je een wat grotere weg op. Daar rijden nog wat auto’s. Op de top is een barretje te vinden waar je koffie en een broodje kunt halen. Water kan je onderweg bijvullen in Agnières.
Het wegdek is goed. De afdaling aan de andere kant is vrij recht en die leent zich voor keiharde snelheden. Ik wilde dat ik een 54 had gemonteerd, dan had ik nog wat harder gekund. Puur afdalingsgenot deze.
