I did them in a temperature of -5C°. The road was glassy, and the scenery was even more beautiful that way. I really enjoyed my outing in the Morvan, you can see Mont Triche. The colours are really pretty. On the other hand, although the climb is long, it's not very difficult to do: it's the highest point in the Morvan!... read more

Je les faites sous un froid de -5C°. La route était verglassé, et les paysages était encore plus beau comme cela. J'ai vraiment aimé ma sortie au Morvan, on peut voire le Mont Triche. Les couleurs sont vraiment jolie. En revanche, la montée bien que longue, elle n'est pas très difficile. à faire: c'est point culminent du Morvan!

Easy climb with decent gradients. We rode here in late June and it was very quiet, we met almost no other traffic.

Eenvoudige beklimming met schappelijke steigingspercentages. We reden hier eind juni en het was heel rustig, we kwamen bijna geen ander verkeer tegen.

An easy pass to start with, with a relatively gentle climb that's not too long. There are small variations to recover. The landscape is nice, shady, etc... However, be careful on the descent, as the tarmac doesn't grip very well and there are a few holes and gravel. It's impossible to know whether the exit from the bend will be slippery or not, so it's up to you to anticipate by slowing down as you enter the bend. Well, I've got 15-year-old skates and I got away with it, so it's not suicide either.

Col facile pour débuter, montée relativement douce et pas trop longue. Il y a des petites variations pour récupérer. Le paysage est sympa, ombragé, etc... Par contre attention lors de la descente, le bitume n'accroche pas très bien et il y a quelques trous et gravillons. Impossible de savoir si la sortie de virage sera glissante ou pas, donc à vous d'anticiper en ralentissant bien à l'entrée. Bon, j'ai des patins qui ont 15 ans et je m'en suis sorti hein, c'est pas non plus du suicide.

Long climb with relatively low percentages. Asphalt varies greatly in quality. Some parts fine, but also very rough and coarse asphalt. Last part completely in the forest. No view at the top. The descent via the other side is nicer in terms of views. Unfortunately, there are many small loose stones. Climb done on our holiday bikes with light luggage.

Lange klim met relatief lage percentages. Asfalt verschilt erg in kwaliteit. Sommige stukken prima, maar ook van dat zeer ruwe grove asfalt. Laatste stuk compleet in het bos. Op de top geen uitzicht. De afdaling via de andere kant is qua uitzicht mooier. Helaas daar veel kleine losse steentjes. Klim gedaan op onze vakantiefietsen met lichte bepakking.
