This climb has everything that makes a climb great: good steepness, (virtually) no traffic, hairpin turns and beautiful views. Nice touch were the unflappable cows staring at me from the side of the road. The only serious drawback is the really bad road surface at the beginning and at the end. Still, no reason to ignore this climb. I combined it with the Col de Teghime from Bastia (you can also do it from Saint Florent).

This climb has everything that makes a climb great: good steepness, (virtually) no traffic, hairpin turns and beautiful views. Nice touch were the unflappable cows staring at me from the side of the road. The only serious drawback is the really bad road surface at the beginning and at the end. Still, no reason to ignore this climb. I combined it with the Col de Teghime from Bastia (you can also do it from Saint Florent). You then turn two second category climbs into a serious first category climb of 14.2 km with an average percentage of 6.3 per cent of which the last 4 km average 9.5 per cent. Views at the summit are not pretty: you only see the radio towers. However, just below the summit it is stunning. You can see Bastia and Cap Corse.

Deze beklimming heeft alles wat een beklimming geweldig maakt: goed steil, (vrijwel) geen verkeer, haarspeldbochten en prachtige uitzichten. Leuk detail waren de onverstoorbare koeien die mij vanaf de zijkant van de weg aanstaarden. Enige serieuze nadeel is het werkelijk zeer slechte wegdek aan het begin en an het einde. Toch geen reden om deze klim links te laten liggen. Ik heb hem gecombineerd met de Col de Teghime vanuit Bastia (Kun je ook vanaf Saint Florent doen). Je maakt dan van twee tweede categorie klimmen een serieuze eerste categorieklim van 14.2 km met een gemiddeld percentage van 6.3 procent waarvan de laatste 4 km gemiddeld 9.5 procent. Uitzicht op de top is niet mooi: je ziet enkel de radiotorens. Maar vlak onder de top is het wel schitterend. Je ziet Bastia en Cap Corse.
