The road is a principal route from Digne towards Barcelonette. The traffic level is OK to ride safely. There's nothing outstanding to see during the climb which starts easily along the valley and gradually increases the gradient as the river is left below and the climb passes into the forest near the summit. Towards the top there is a road sign warning of a 15% descent for traffic going the other way. The final kilometers are testing.
This col is part of a 200 km circuit of Digne, Barcelonette, col d'Allos, St Andre les Alpes, Digne crossing 6 or 7 cols of varying difficulty levels and is feasible during a single day for those in a hurry.
