Montée agréable et relativement ombragée. Il y a souvent des pierres sur la route (il faut éviter cette ascension après des une météo pluvieuse (risque de glissement de terrain) : c'est pour cela qu'elle n'est pas techniquement ouverte à la circulation.
L'arrivée au sommet par les alpages est magnifique.
Attention à la descente vers Morgins : les routes sont étroites et il y a un certain nombre de voitures qui montent, parfois pas forcément à droite (des panneaux indiquent de faire attention)
Incredible hidden gem of a climb. It's technically closed to traffic although in reality you do see an occasional vehicle, but super quiet. I would say in 6 ascents i have come across no more than a couple of cars, a few tractors and a horse or 2. The views back toward Aigle and Lac Leman are amazing as you climb through the wooded hillside, but after some steep sections through the trees the road comes out on a plateau which is familiar from skiing in chatel and you can see the top of the col. Absolutely worth making a detour to do this climb!
A long, beautiful pass, well shaded, with almost no traffic ... and which doesn't end in a dead end!
Long col très beau, bien ombragé, dépourvu de toute circulation ou presque … et qui ne fini pas en cul de sac !
Nice steady climb, beautiful scenery but lots of rocks/rockfalls. No cars
Belle montée régulière, jolis paysages mais beaucoup de cailloux/chutes de pierres. Pas de voiture

Very little frequented ascent. Barrier in the first third if the summit is still snow-covered. Descent to Morgins
Montée très peu fréquentée. Barrière au premier tiers si le sommet est encore enneigé. Descente sur Morgins
