Not overly difficult climb through beautiful wooded landscape, with nice rock formations. And with a little imagination it looks like monument valley. Climb faces north, which in terms of temperature and shade in summer is a lot better than the climb to the col de L'espigoulier from Gémenos. Views beautiful and traffic not too bad in the early morning.

Niet overmatig zware klim door prachtig bosrijk landschap, met mooie rotsformaties. En met een beetje fantasie lijkt het op monument valley. Klim ligt op noorden, wat qua temperatuur en schaduw in de zomer een stuk beter is dan de klim naar de col de L’espigoulier vanuit Gémenos. Uitzicht prachtig en verkeer valt mee in de vroege ochtend.
