An iconic pass in the Coulmes massif, accessible after a difficult climb on the north side, and an easier one on the south. It provides access to the Col du Mont Noir, the massif's benchmark pass.

A fairly steady climb from Vinay, the start has easier grades of 2-4% with the second and final part increasing to 5-6%. The views from the top are definitely worth the effort!

Departure from the Col des Aures at 13% but on a short portion. Then aerial road with a very nice view, very little traffic and with a good coating.

Pas de Pierre Taillée (alt 1618) with beautiful views over 2 valleys. You have to carry and push your bike because of the steep path and steps. (Not possible with e-bikes !)
