A pass as demanding as it is mythical! However, the scenery and the final viewpoint are the reward. Be careful, the road is rough but there is not a lot of traffic.

Col aussi exigeant qu'il en est mythique ! Cependant les paysages et le point de vue final en sont la récompense, attention route dégradée mais avec peu de passage.

The most difficult climb in the Tarn (although the summit is in the Aude), so it's a must for the locals! The Tour de France passed through here in 2018, but be warned: the road is in very poor condition, with lots of potholes and stones in places. On the other hand, you'll pass through some beautiful countryside, and the view from the summit is well worth the effort. The first 4-5 km, on the factory road, is easy but the road bends as soon as you turn left. I had the impression that the gradient was often steeper than the Climbfinder profile shows! It's a very, very uneven climb where it's difficult to find your own rhythm, which requires a bit of practice.

L'ascension la plus difficile dans le Tarn (bien que le sommet soit dans l'Aude), un incontournable donc pour les locaux ! Le Tour de France y est passé en 2018 mais attention : la route est en très mauvais état, avec beaucoup de nids de poule et de cailloux par endroits. En revanche, vous traverserez de beaux paysages et la vue au sommet en vaut la peine. Les 4-5 premiers kilomètres, sur la route des usines, sont faciles mais la route se cambre dès que vous tournez à gauche. J'avais l'impression que la pente était souvent plus raide que ce qu'affiche le profil Climbfinder ! Une montée très, très irrégulière où il est difficile de trouver son rythme, qui nécessite un peu d'entraînement.

Once you have left Mazamet behind, the first climb leads upwards on mostly good asphalt through a shady forest. You pass remnants of the road painting of the Tour de France 2018 stage 15. The last part of the climb leads on open terrain to the summit. Little traffic.

Anstieg führt - wenn man Mazamet hinter sich gelassen hat - auf grösstenteils gutem Asphalt durch einen schattigen Wald nach oben. Man passiert Reste der Strassenbemalung der Tour de France 2018 Etappe 15. Der letzte Teil des Anstiegs führt auf offenem Gelände zum Gipfel. Wenig Verkehr.

Lekkere klim. Asfalt hier en daar van slechte kwaliteit. Vooral laatste gedeelte het echte gevoel van een col

An oasis of calm... leaving mazamet, you pass through some hamlets with industrial heritage and at one point the signs point to the left and you turn onto a narrow path that rams uphill right away... then there are some hairpins and it finally flattens out a bit and eventually you arrive at that big red and white rocket at the top.. it's best to descend via the other side (D112&D54... then you have a total of 20km of downhill on just as quiet a road) because oh how bad the road surface is on some parts of the climb... a pothole is nothing like it!

Een oase van rust… als je mazamet uitrijd kom je door wat gehuchten met industrieel erfgoed en op een gegeven moment wijzen de borden naar links en ga je een smal paadje op wat gelijk flink omhoog ramt.. daarna volgen er wat haarspeldbochten en vlakt het eindelijk wat af en uiteindelijk kom je bij die grote rood-witte raket uit op de top.. afdalen kan het beste via de andere kant(D112&D54.. dan heb je in totaal 20km lopende afdaling op net zo’n rustige weg) want oh wat is het wegdek slecht op sommige stukken van de klim.. een gatenkaas is er niets bij!
