Horribly difficult pass. In order to keep going and not stop, you have to put in a lot of power, which means you can't manage your effort, you just go flat out or almost flat out. The road twists a lot and the bends are really steep. The road is in a bad state but in places there's brand new tarmac. It's very clear so it's a bit of a furnace but about halfway up the pass the scenery is nice and you get the impression you're a bit lost. After the village I find it easier,... read more

Horribly difficult pass. In order to keep going and not stop, you have to put in a lot of power, which means you can't manage your effort, you just go flat out or almost flat out. The road twists a lot and the bends are really steep. The road is in a bad state but in places there's brand new tarmac. It's very clear so it's a bit of a furnace but about halfway up the pass the scenery is nice and you get the impression you're a bit lost. After the village I find it easier, but not enough to get your heart racing.

Col horriblement difficile. Pour avancer et ne pas s'arrêter il faut obligatoirement mettre de gros watts ce qui fait que l'on ne peut pas gérer son effort, on y va juste à fond ou quasi. La route tourne beaucoup et les virages sont vraiment très pentu. La route est dans un sale état mais par endroit il y a du tout nouveau goudron. C'est fort dégagé donc ça fait un peu fournaise mais vers la moitié du col les paysages sont sympas et on a l'impression d'être un peu perdu. Après le village je trouve ça plus facile, néanmoins pas assez pour faire redescendre son coeur. A coup sûr un des plus difficile que j'ai monté, même si ce n'est "que" un 1ere cat.
