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.

JAUJAC is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Tanargues mountains, Fabras hills and St. Cirgues de Prades. This diversity of landscapes makes this village, built along the Lignon river, a real gem.

I recommend La Motte, blue slope, as well as Chambelasse and Ranc Grand, green slopes, all three magnificent. Remember to bring a jersey for your arrival in Lignon, and a little change to taste a DRAC, the local beer brewed in the village.

Shakes way too much for gravel. Big stones, few rolling parts, it's a shame because it is indeed beautiful.

It's beautiful but it shakes. Not recommendable without a full suspension.

Very nice climb starting from the Souche with an arrival at the pass worthy of the Alps.
