Nice climb despite the lack of views on the way up. The view from the village of 3 épis is worth the diversions. The pass is very regular with a few twists and turns, nice to start an outing. Done before going back down to Orbey to tackle the Col du Calvaire.... read more

Montée sympa malgré l'absence de vue durant la montée. La vue depuis le village de 3 épis vaut le détour. Le col est très régulier avec quelques lacets, sympa pour commencer une sortie. Faite avant de redescendre à Orbey pour attaquer le col du Calvaire.

Very pleasant and regular ascent. It is accessible for those who start the mountain. Unfortunately, the view at the top is hampered by the trees. It is not very busy and the road is in good condition. The last kilometers are really nice with many twists and turns.

Montée très agréable et régulière. Elle est accessible pour ceux qui commencent la montagne. Malheureusement, la vue au sommet est gêné par les arbres. Elle n'est pas très fréquentée et la route est en bon état. Les derniers kilomètres sont vraiment chouettes avec de nombreux lacets
