A climb that is probably not ridden very often. There are parts that are very steep with drainage channels in the road surface and they are longer than you can see from the profile. This is not a climb to be done in between, unless you like very steep sections. When you get to the top, you come to a sort of plateau, very beautiful to see with a lookout post at the end (starting point for hikers) and there is a small café/restaurant. The climb is very tough, the view worthwhile.... read more

Nice climb. Tough, with hard ramps. The asphalt is in pretty good condition and there is almost no traffic. The views are worth it, it is a good resource to link with the climbs of Tentes or Tromouse.

Splendid! And so peaceful... Unfortunately for us, a lot of gravel had been spread in mid-June 2025...

Splendide! Et tellement au calme... Malheureusement pour nous il avait été étalé beaucoup de graviers mi juin 2025...

Een beklimming die waarschijnlijk niet zoveel wordt gereden. Er zijn stukken bij die enorm steil zijn met afvoer goten in het wegdek en die zijn langer dan men opmaakt uit het profiel. Dit is geen klimmetje voor even tussendoor tenzij je van heel steile stukken houdt. Als je boven bent kom je op een soort plateau, heel mooi om te zien met op het einde een uitkijkpost (startpunt voor wandelaars) en er is een klein café/ restaurant. De klim is erg zwaar, het uitzicht de moeite waard.
