Col du Fâ, Col du Fâ, Col du Fam? Nobody knows... In any case, we start at the junction between the D902 and the D660. The road is very narrow and fine as far as Castellet-Lès-Sausses. After that, there are a lot of small stones, but this may be due to the recent storms. The last kilometre is totally gravel, but it's easy to get around even on thin tyres. You have to climb up to the shepherd's hut. The sign for the pass is fixed to this hut... On the right, a large cross watches... read more

Col du Fâ, Col du Fâ, Col du Fam? Nobody knows...

You have to climb up to the shepherd's hut. The sign for the pass is fixed to this hut...
On the right, a large cross watches over the horizon.
The descent is more tricky (stones, gravel, free-roaming herd dogs...).
A very wild and pleasant route.

Col du Fâ, col du Fa, col du Fam ?
Personne ne sait…
L’IGN dit Fa. Google Map dit Fam.
Dans tous les cas, on démarre à l’intersection entre la D902 et la D660.
La route est très étroite et correcte jusqu’à Castellet-Lès-Sausses. Ensuite, il y a beaucoup de petits cailloux mais c’est peut-être dû aux récents orages. Le dernier kilomètre est totalement « gravel » mais on se faufile bien même avec des pneus fins.
Il faut monter jusqu’au refuge du berger.
Le panneau du col est fixé sur cette cabane…
À droite, une grande croix qui surveille l’horizon.
La descente est plus délicate (cailloux, graviers, chiens de troupeaux en liberté…).
Une route bien sauvage et bien agréable.
