This pass lies on the road (D902) from Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis to Bonneval-sur-Arc and thus on the access road to the southern ascent of the Col de l'Iseran. With only 347 elevation meters and 240 climb effort points (cep) this climb is relatively insignificant. Nevertheless, the steepest kilometer, shortly after Lanslevillard, has a slope of 10.0%. There is a lot of traffic on the street and, since you are still cycling along the floor of the deep Arc valley, nature is not really exciting.
