A very nice gradual climb from the isle. Quite a few bikers going up a bit too fast, but that's what happens on this kind of climb.

Une très belle montée progressive depuis l’isle. Pas mal de motards qui montent un peu vite mais voilà habituel sur ce genre de montée

Nice pass with gentle slopes. Nearby are the magnificent Lac de Joux and the Dent de Vaulion, with their panoramic views of the three lakes. Best to set off early to avoid the traffic. In summer, the pass is popular with motorcyclists.

Col sympa avec des pentes douces. A proximité le magnifique lac de Joux et la dent de Vaulion avec vue panoramique sur les trois lacs. Mieux vaut partir tôt pour éviter la circulation. Pendant l’été le col est bien fréquenté par des motards.
