Busy road, but definitely beautiful to descend! Less so to climb because of heavy traffic.

Drukke weg, maar zeker mooi om af te dalen! Minder om te beklimmen vanwege het vele verkeer.

Busy, reasonable road but when the sun is on it, also taffy hot. With all the cars, the fun is soon gone.

Druk, redelijke weg maar als de zon er op staat ook taffesheet. Met al de auto’s is het lolletje er snel af.

Short climb, relatively heavy traffic for this type of road.
Nice scenery, but nothing outstanding!

Kurzer Aufstieg, für diesen Strassentyp relativ viel Verkehr.
Landschaftlich nett, aber nichts Herausragendes!

To be climbed very quickly: ideal for working on your explosiveness when climbing because this pass is short afterwards, otherwise it is not very interesting...

A monter vite très vite : idéal pour travailler son explosivité en montée car ce col est court après sinon il n'a pas trop d'intérêt...
