Small but mighty! Yes, this slope is worth the effort. It's a real little pass. It climbs hard. And the scenery is quite beautiful. Just as the other side is long with few rewards, this side is interesting.... read more

Petit mais costaud ! Oui, ce versant vaut la peine. C’est un vrai petit col. Ça grimpe fort. Et les paysages sont assez beaux. Autant, l’autre versant est long pour peu de récompenses, autant ce côté là est intéressant.

Great pass, because of the high gradients but it's short so you can work a lot on your explosiveness and your punch, it's great for the attacks!

Col super, car avec des pourcentages élevés mais il est court donc on travail un max son explosivité et son punch, ça entraîne pour les attaques !

Not a long climb but certainly not less difficult, beautiful climb through the many curves and beautiful surroundings.

Geen lange beklimming maar daardoor zeker niet minder zwaar, mooie beklimming door de vele bochten en prachtige omgeving.
