Nice tarmac, many hairpin bends and little traffic. The standard tour from Bled takes this as a descent, but you can go up of course :). The last part is worse asphalt, for climbing that does not matter, but in the descent you have to pay attention.... read more

A climb at the start, then more rolling at the end. No view as the climb is in the middle of the forest.

Montée sur le début puis plus roulante sur la fin. Pas de vue car la montée est en pleine forêt.

The first 3 kilometres are really tough, then it eases off. But the road is really bad after that, before coming to a fairly rolling finish.

Les 3 premiers kilomètres sont vraiment très difficiles ensuite cela se calme. Mais la route est vraiment mauvaise par la suite, avant d arriver sur une fin plutôt roulante.

I did this as the first one of the day. I can't say much about the view. I had all the trouble in the world to get the pedals round on the first few kilometres. This is a good example to show that an average ％ rating sometimes says little about the difficulty of a climb. Idd 6％, but the first part I imagined myself back on the Mortirolo. What a terrible climb. More often than not, the bike computer showed 16, 17 and more on the first stretch. 8％ or 9％ was there to catch my breath. Certainly not my favourite as I prefer an even climb. Since half of the climb (part 2) is actually just false flat or flat, I think this climb loses climbing points. I found it much harder than other cols with more climbing points.
I took the descent via Gorjuse. Actually, I would have preferred to go that way. It is much more balanced, but also longer and I feel it has more hairpins. The number of beautiful views is also higher there. And at least no double digit averages.

Deze als eerste van de dag gedaan. Over het uitzicht kan ik weinig zeggen. Ik had alle moeite van de wereld om de pedalen rond te krijgen op de eerste kilometers. Dit is een mooi voorbeeld om te tonen dat een gemiddelde ％ aanduiding soms weinig zegt over de moeilijkheidsgraad van een klim. Idd 6％, maar het eerste stuk waande ik me terug op de Mortirolo. Wat een rotklim. De fietscomputer toonde vaker wel dan niet 16, 17 en meer op het eerste stuk. 8％ of 9％ was er om op adem te komen. Zeker niet mijn favoriet omdat ik liever een gelijkmatige beklimming heb. Omdat de helft van de klim (deel 2) eigenlijk gewoon vals plat of gewoon plat is, boet deze klim volgens mij aan klimpunten in. Ik vond hem veel lastiger dan andere cols met meer klimpunten.
Ik heb de afdaling genomen via Gorjuse. Eigenlijk had ik die kant liever opgereden. Is veel evenwichtiger, maar daardoor ook wel langer en naar mijn gevoel meer haarspeldbochten. Het aantal mooie vergezichten is daar ook wel hoger. En ten minste geen gemiddeldes van 2 cijfers.

A very nice climb, which you have to wriggle out of, especially in the beginning, with a number of kilometres well above 10％. Beautiful surroundings, hardly any traffic.

Een heel mooie klim, die je vooral in het begin aardig uitwringt met een aantal kilometers ruim boven de 10％. Mooie omgeving, nauwelijks verkeer.

Mooi asfalt, veel haarspeldbochten en weinig verkeer. Het standaardrondje vanuit Bled pakt dit als afdaling, maar je kan omhoog natuurlijk :). Het laatste stuk is het asfalt slechter, voor het klimmen maakt dat niet uit, maar bij de afdaling moet je dan even opletten.
