Pardon the flowery language, but real dirt. The ascent is very irregular, incredibly difficult in the first kilometer, especially with luggage. It is however very beautiful, and the cows will accompany you in this ascent. If the climb is difficult, the descent is just as difficult and you will have to stay on the brakes in gradients of almost 11 percent. I invite you to stop on the side of the road, to take full advantage of this postcard setting.

From Mandailles there are some nice views towards Puy Mary, but there are some quite steep sections in this direction.
The pass does not come close to some of the alternatives in the area, but is still quite beautiful and holds the only connection between the Cère and Jordanne valleys.
