Short and irregular pass, but with very hard ramps (up to 16％). Narrow road in good condition. Little traffic. Incredible views at the top.

Puerto corto e irregular, pero con rampas muy duras (hasta el 16％). Calzada estrecha y en buen estado. Trafico escaso. Vistas increíbles llegando arriba.

Irregular climb, with tough sections of around 1O per cent in the beginning, then more of a runner, towards the end beautiful views!

Onregelmatige beklimming, met in het begin zware stukken van rond de 1O procent, daarna meer een loper, naar het einde toe mooie uitzichten!
