I really enjoyed doing this climb.
The first part is very gentle and allows you to warm up your legs and after a short descent the slope offers a nice linear ramp.
It's nothing exceptional, but you climb and enjoy the scenery, and you soon forget how long this pass is.
You'll have to do it early to avoid the traffic and the heat.

C'est une ascension que j'ai beaucoup aimé faire.
La première partie est très douce et permet de se chauffer les jambes et après une courte redescente la pente nous propose une belle rampe linéaire.
Rien d'exceptionnel mais on grimpe en observant le paysage et la longueur de ce col se fait vite oubliée.
Il faudra la faire de bonne heure pour éviter le trafic et la chaleur.
