Beautiful climb that starts in Lasalle; you literally begin in the narrow main street of the village, surrounded by façades with typical colourful volets. Up to Les Horst, there is the occasional passing car, but it's quite manageable. The final stretch is fairly quiet with little traffic. ... read more

Nice climb. Climbed on Saturday morning and encountered 1 car. Definitely worth the effort.

Fast runner that takes you into the heart of the Cevennes. Traffic is sometimes a bit busier up to Soudorgues, but from there very quiet ascent. At the top, you'll find a memorial to fallen soldiers from this region.

Snelle loper die je naar het hart van de Cevennes leidt. Het verkeer is tot in Soudorgues soms wat drukker, maar vanaf daar heel rustige beklimming. Boven vind je een gedenkteken voor gesneuvelde soldaten uit deze streek.

A pass with a correct slope in the Cevennes, climbed during a training trip. I recommend it if you are in the area.

Col a la pente correcte dans les Cevennes, gravi lors d'une sortie d'entrainement. Je le conseille si vous passez dans le coin.
