A beautiful pass, quite hot at the foot and even on the climb, on a fairly wide road. There are a lot of motorbikes and cars, many of which drive very fast and show little respect for cyclists (for my taste)...... read more

A beautiful pass, quite hot at the foot and even on the climb, on a fairly wide road. There are a lot of motorbikes and cars, many of which drive very fast and show little respect for cyclists (for my taste)...

Un beau col, assez chaud au pied et même dans la montée, sur une route assez large. Fréquentation quand même importante, entre les motos et les voitures, dont beaucoup roulent très vite et respectent assez peu les cyclistes (à mon goût) ...
