A pass not to be underestimated. The slope never lets up on a fairly gravelly road. Laces in the chestnut trees enhance the climb, and the panorama is superb on the final ramp up the mountainside. South-facing, so very hot in summer.... read more

A pass not to be underestimated. The slope never lets up on a fairly gravelly road. Laces in the chestnut trees enhance the climb, and the panorama is superb on the final ramp up the mountainside.
South-facing, so very hot in summer.

Col à ne pas sous estimé. La pente ne se relâche jamais sur une route assez granuleuse. Des lacets dans les châtaigner viennent agrémenter la montée et le panorama est superbe dans la rampe finale à flanc de montagne.
Orienté plein sud donc grosse chaleur possible en été
