ソーヌ＝エ＝ロワールの峠・トップ7

Nice climb, tough from Mesvres

Nice view roads quiet

It looks great to do it this round but right now I can't REALLY SORRY !!!

Finally there is a sign, certainly not like we are used to seeing them. Towards the orientation table, there is a post with a green border at the top where the name of the pass is indicated. In the area, that seems to be how the passes are marked, like its neighbor the Col de Pierreclos for example.

First climb on the tour.

The climb is easy to do, as there are always easy passages in between

Even for poor climbers, it is quite doable from Arleuf. Haut Folin from Arleuf via Col du Haut Folin is a climb in the Morvan region. The route is 8.3 kilometers long and covers 295 meters of altitude with an average gradient of 3.6%. At the end of Arleuf, you first lose a few meters of altitude before the D500 leads from Arleuf to Fosse with an initially relatively low gradient; at the end of this modest hamlet, the road then climbs in a few bends to the right along a ridge at 6-8% and opens up the view to spectacular views of the Yonne valley. The road then climbs extremely irregularly through dense forest, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at up to 7%, and it is not easy to find a rhythm. After a total of 6 km, you reach a plateau where, apart from a few ramps, the progress is somewhat flatter and faster. After the D179/D500 junction, continue to follow the D500 towards the summit, and here the route becomes a little more ambitious with a gradient of 5-7%, before finally reaching the summit in the middle of a dense mixed forest and thus a mountain classification of the 2nd category.

Small pass at an altitude of 676m with a clear summit, offering a beautiful view of the countryside and the surrounding area.
