Truly one of the very best climbs. Lovely percentage, but above all the views are fantastic. To the south through the Gorges. Beautiful rocks, especially in the sun. Watch out for the stones here and there... read more

Echt een van de allermooiste beklimmingen. Heerlijk percentage, maar vooral het uitzicht is fantastisch. Naar het zuiden door de Gorges. Prachtige rotsen, vooral in de zon. Let op voor de stenen hier en daar

Very beautiful. The plateau where you come out is very special. Leaving early is recommended in summer

Heel mooi. Het plateau waar je uitkomt is heel bijzonder. Vroeg vertrekken is in de zomer aan te raden

What a gem. A nice steady climb of around 8％, the last three kilometres leveling off very much. Beautiful view of the Gorges du Tarn. Definitely do it.

Wat een juweeltje. Een mooie gelijkmatige klim van rond de 8％, de laatste drie kilometers vlak het erg af. Prachtig zicht op de Gorges du Tarn. Zeker doen.

Ridden early in the morning, and by then it was warm. Thanks to Tim Krabbe, a climb not to be missed. Regularity all around. And stunning views at the top. Nice narrow road and little traffic.

Vroeg op de ochtend gereden, en toen was het al warm. Dankzij Tim Krabbe een niet te missen klim. Regelmaat alom. En bovenop een schitterend uitzicht. Lekker smal weggetje en weinig verkeer.

Spectacularly beautiful. I dropped this one after climbing from Malène to Rieisse. Good combo. It is quite a narrow road. Not suitable for a fast descent.

Spectaculair mooi. Ik heb deze gedaald na klim vanuit Malène naar Rieisse. Goede combi. Het is een vrij smal weggetje. Niet geschikt voor een snelle afdaling.

I did this climb during Tim Krabbé's round of the rider in the morning. But I have come back to do it in the evening light. I have to go back in order to do it in the evening light, when the setting sun shines beautifully on the rock formations above the road. During the day it must be hell. Far too hot!

Ik heb deze klim gedaan tijdens de ronde van de Renner van Tim Krabbé in de ochtend. Maar ben er nog eens voor terug gekomen om hem in het avondlicht te fietsen. Dan zijn de rotsformaties boven de weg zo mooi door de ondergaande zon beschenen. Overdag moet het een hel zijn. Veeeel te warm!
