    Nice pass but quite difficult all the same! From Vertolaye 13.8 km of ascent for an average gradient of 6.5% and 9% max.
    An inn at the top is open year round for a little refreshment!!

    A nice training pass for big passes. You can enjoy beautiful views in the terminal part. On the Chalmazel side we stay for a long time in the forest with a very grainy road. Even in spring we feel that the climate is harsh with a drop in temperature as soon as we go up in altitude. Do not hesitate to climb to Pierre sur Haute to enjoy even more and extend the pleasure of the climb a little!
