Sustained climb but doable on gravel with wide tires. The descent on gravel would be no fun, always on the brakes. Be careful on the ridge at the col de Sucheyre, the stones are very aggressive, I tore the sidewall of my tire.

The view from the pass over the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park is breathtakingly beautiful. The new Meyrand viewpoint, a little south of the summit of the pass, was inaugurated in July 2024. It offers an exceptional panorama of the Monts d'Ardèche, the Cévennes, and you can even see as far as Mont Ventoux.

Climbing up to the Col du Meyrand from Valgorge, you get a magnificent view of the gorges of the valley from which you came. To do this, you have to overcome sixteen kilometers at an average of 5.1%.
