Bit of a boring climb, but fine to do if you're around there anyway. Super even though with 5％ all the time... read more

Beetje saaie klim, maar prima om te doen als je daar toch in de buurt bent. Wel super gelijkmatig met steeds 5％

I did this climb in 2022 but in 2 parts because I took a turn halfway up. Personally, I find this one of the lesser climbs in this beautiful region. It is nowhere tough and the road is very open and atypical of the region. Only advantage is that you can refill your drink almost at the top which is quite exceptional at the top of a climb in the Drome. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and lavender fields along the way, though. The descent is incredibly beautiful though, say fabulous between the rocks and the small stream. It looks like a film set , fairytale-like.

Ik heb deze klim in 2022 gedaan maar in 2 delen omdat ik halfweg een afslag genomen had. Persoonlijk vind ik dit één van de mindere beklimmingen in deze prachtige regio. Hij is nergens zwaar en de weg is heel open en atypisch voor de regio. Enig voordeel is dat je bijna op de top kan drank aanvullen wat heel uitzonderlijk is op de top van een beklimming in de Drome. Wel kan je onderweg genieten van de mooie omgeving en lavendelvelden. De afdaling is wel ontzettend mooi, zeg maar gerust fabelachtig tussen de rotsen en het kleine beekje. Het lijkt wel een filmdecor , sprookjesachtig.

Up to Bouvières it is a nice climb though: first through a narrow valley that then opens up and you can suddenly see the col in the distance. But although after Bouvières is the "steepest" part, it is also the least interesting: it is just a fairly tight road up without any views and at the end one and a half hairpins. Then again, there are plenty of nastier climbs, of course, and the descent to St.Ferreol, on the other hand, is beautiful, so it's worth it only there.

Tot Bouvières is het wel een mooie klim: eerst door een smal dal dat zich daarna opent en je ineens in de verte de col kunt zien liggen. Maar hoewel na Bouvières het "steilste" stuk ligt, is dat ook het minst interessant: het is gewoon een redelijk strakke weg omhoog zonder uitzichten en op het eind nog anderhalve haarspeldbocht. Maar goed, er zijn zat vervelendere klimmen natuurlijk en de afdaling naar St.Ferreol is daarentegen prachtig, dus alleen daar is het de moeite waard.
