A difficult climb in the wind. Sometimes the weather forecast doesn't say there's any wind, but there is. The road is not in very good condition, except for the last 5 km. Lots of vibrations in the arms on the descent. Sometimes a bit of gravel. The summit is not very hospitable. No toilets or water fountains. A water fountain is available in Pradelles-cavardès, 6km from the summit.... read more

Ascension difficile avec le vent. Attention parfois la météo n’ indique aucun vent et pourtant il est bel et bien là.. La route n’est pas en très bon état, sauf sur les 5 derniers km. Beaucoup de vibrations dans les bras sur la descente. Parfois un peu de gravier. Le sommet n’est pas très hospitalier. Pas de WC ni fontaine à eau. Une fontaine à eau est disponible à Pradelles-cavardès à 6km du sommet.

Nice long climb with the devil in the tail. Also pick a windless day, descending with a lot of wind was tricky at times

Leuke lange klim met het venijn in de staart. Kies ook een windloze dag, afdalen met veel wind was soms tricky

I prefer this side of the road to the one from Mazamet. The traffic remains fairly calm and the road is in much better condition. There's no real difficulty, apart from the fact that the road bends after Pradelles, and the last six kilometres are the most difficult. Watch out for the wind, though, as this slope is more exposed.

Je préfère ce versant à celui depuis Mazamet. La circulation reste assez calme et la route est en bien meilleur état. Pas vraiment de difficulté, si ce n'est que la route se cambre après Pradelles, les six derniers kilomètres sont les plus difficiles. Attention tout de même au vent, ce versant est plus exposé.

Done in the sun... The descent was difficult because the water was too hot in the bottles (despite a stop on the way back at Cabrespine where there is a fountain).

Faite sous le soleil... La descente fut difficile à cause de l'eau qui était trop chaude dans les gourdes (et ce, malgré un arrêt au retour à Cabrespine où il y a une fontaine).
