A short, very easy climb from Ecole, unlike the more arduous ascent to the pass on the other side. It's a simple climb up the pretty valley, with a steady, rising gradient, rising again at the level of Routhennes for the final section. It's not hard though, and it's easy to reach the pass on a quiet road with a very good surface.... read more

Petite montée très facile au départ d'Ecole, contrairement à l'ascension du col par l'autre versant plus ardue. Il s'agit ici d'une simple montée dans le joli vallon, régulière en faux-plat montant, se redressant au niveau de Routhennes pour la partie finale. Rien de dur pour autant et l'on rejoint facilement le col sur une route calme et un très bon revêtement.

It's a very easy climb, with only the last few hectometres really climbing, and even then, the percentages are still quite affordable, even for novices. The road is in good condition, with little traffic and a magnificent setting in a beautiful valley. A must-do!

Une montée très facile où seuls les derniers hectomètres grimpent vraiment, et encore, les pourcentages restent tout à fait abordables même pour les plus novices. La route est en bon état, peu de circulation et le cadre est grandiose dans une très belle vallée. À faire !

Very beautiful valley, quiet and little traffic. The climb is like a false flat rising. The pass climbs a bit more at the end but remains easy for people who don't climb often.

Très belle vallée, calme et peu de traffic. La montée est comme un faux plat montant. Le col monte un peu plus sur la fin mais reste facil pour des personnes qui ne montent pas souvent.
