    One of my favorite passes (1,230 meters) in this region that I know well. A good quality road, very little traffic, magnificent scenery and a very accessible climb on both sides.

    The ascent of the Col du Défens is on a good quality road with very little traffic, beautiful scenery and an easy climb on both sides. The icing on the cake is an egg-shaped sculpture by Andy Goldworthy that you will come across at some point.

    Beautiful landscape, small road, only the last bends are strenuous.
