Climbed on 27 July as extension of Pas d'Espigoulier from Gemenos . Very steep up to the junction after 3 km. Then turn right towards the top. That last piece undulates a bit up and down but you do not gain much height. The top is not quite reachable because you stand at a certain point for a fence. Still fantastic views. Along the way some warnings that the road is forbidden to drive, but you will not see anyone. Well worth the effort!... read more

It's a very pleasant climb up Pic Bertagne, I really like the scenery. It's the highest point in the department, and the climb offers some serious, ultra-uneven gradients. At the end of the three difficult kilometres I arrived very out of breath (not as much as on the current profile, which has a bug in it). Don't worry about the sign that says you can't take this road, nothing will happen to you. On the contrary, enjoy the peace and quiet it provides.

c'est une ascension très agréable ce pic Bertagne, J'aime bien les paysages. C'est le point culminent du département, et son ascension propose des pourcentages sérieux et ultra irrégulier. à la fin des trois kilomètres difficiles je suis arrivé très essoufflé (pas autant que sur le profil actuel qui présente un bug). Ne vous inquiétez pas pour le panneau qui indique une interdiction de prendre cette route, rien va vous arriver. Au contraire, profitez de la tranquillité qu'il impose.

One of the only passages over 1000m in altitude in the region. The climb is fairly short but with 5 passages at over 15％! The first part is sheltered under the forest, but past the gate, the road is uncovered at the foot of the cliff. In strong winds (often) the uncovered sections can be tricky because of the gusts. The view from the top is magnificent and well worth the effort. The condition of the road is fairly average, but nothing too disturbing.

Un des seuls passages à plus de 1000m d’altitude de la région. La montée est assez courte mais avec 5 passages à plus de 15％ ! La première partie est abritée sous la forêt, mais passé le portail, la route se découvre au pied de la falaise. En cas de fort vent (souvent) les passages à découvert peuvent être délicats à cause des rafales. La vue au sommet est magnifique et vaut largement l’effort. L’état de la route est assez moyen, mais rien de très dérangeant.

Beklommen op 27 juli als verlenging op Pas d'Espigoulier vanuit Gemenos . Erg steil tot aan splitsing na ruim 3 kilometer. Daarna sla je rechtsaf richting de top. Dat laatste stuk golft nog wat op en neer maar veel hoogte win je dan niet meer. De top is niet helemaal te bereiken want je staat op een gegeven moment voor een hek. Toch fantastische uitzichten. Onderweg enkele waarschuwingen dat de weg verboden is om in te rijden, maar je komt helemaal niemand tegen. De moeite waard!
