Beautiful pass at 736 m, quite gentle, 6.1% average. Nice to do by mixing with the 76 gravel hiking trail.

Quite honestly, it takes quite a level to climb that on the bike. Impossible with a gravel bike and probably also with a mountain bike. It's better to find another way. A little further north, the track is completely passable and is connected to the road. Choose this option 👍

The pass of the pavilion culminates at 755 meters above sea level. The view of the western slope is quite unobstructed. I recommend a stop at the Le Pavillon hostel-hotel, which offers good food and allows you to take a break after climbing the pass.
