I climbed this pass during my June holidays. From Treignac to the exit of Veix no great difficulties. It is after that that things get tough. The climb becomes terrible with extremely demanding passages, no respite and the must comes when you think you are done; indeed the tight right turn for the last kilometre to the top of the puy de la Monédière is a bomb.

J'ai grimpé ce col durant mes vacances de juin. De Treignac jusque la sortie de Veix pas de grandes difficultés. C'est après que ça se corse. La montée devient terrible avec des passages extrêmement exigeants, aucun répit et le must arrive quand on croit avoir terminé ; en effet le virage serré à droite pour le dernier kilomètre jusqu'au sommet du puy de la Monédière est de la bombe. J'ai dû mettre pied à terre un moment tant le pourcentage est conséquent. La vue au sommet mérite vraiment le détour avec cette impression de trôner sur le monde.

Extremely demanding climb from Borderies farm with several ramps over 10％. Quite straightforward at first, from Veix to Les Borderies. The scenery is bucolic, beautiful forests of tall pines clinging to the steep sides of the puy de la Monédière and herds of highlands grazing with their long hair and long horns. You feel alone in the world in this corner of the Corrèze, in the heart of the Monédières massif.
The reward is the exceptional view from the top of the puy de la Monédière and, with a bit of luck, you may even see paragliders hurtling through the air.

Montée extrêmement exigeante à partir de la ferme des Borderies avec plusieurs rampes à plus de 10％. Plutôt simple au début, de Veix aux Borderies. Les paysages sont bucoliques, de belles forêts de hauts pins accrochées au flancs abrupts du puy de la Monédière et des troupeaux de highlands qui paissent avec leurs poils longs et leurs longues cornes. On se sent seul au monde dans ce coin de la Corrèze, au coeur du massif des Monédières.
La récompense c'est la vue exceptionnelle au sommet du puy de la Monédière et, avec un peu de chance, vous y verrez peut-être des parapentes s'élancer dans le vide.

This region is very much like the Ardennes: not a single meter flat and many short climbs in the green. The Puy de la Monédière (and the neighbouring Suc au May) offer the opportunity to climb a bit longer. As the profile indicates, especially the end of the climb is quite steep. The road is of good quality, until after the last junction to the PdlM, about 750 meters before the summit: two strips of asphalt with gravel and vegetation in between. Make sure you have enough left over for the 20％ pieces, because zigzagging is not an option :-)

Deze regio lijkt erg op de Ardennen: geen meter vlak en veel korte klimmetjes in het groen. De Puy de la Monédière (en de naastgelegen Suc au May) geven de mogelijkheid om iets langer te klimmen. Zoals het profiel aangeeft is met name het eind van de klim behoorlijk steil. De weg is van prima kwaliteit, tot na de laatste afslag naar de PdlM, zo'n 750 meter voor de top: twee stroken asfalt met grind en begroeiing ertussenin. Zorg dat je genoeg over hebt voor de stukken van 20％, want zigzaggen is geen optie :-)
