It's a flat climb in the shade of the trees, with much less traffic than the other access routes to Mont Thou. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to reach Mont Thou without the hassle of steep gradients (except for those on the final climb after the Mont Thou pass, which are unavoidable on all access routes anyway 😉 ).... read more

It's a flat climb in the shade of the trees, with much less traffic than the other access routes to Mont Thou. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to reach Mont Thou without the hassle of steep gradients (except for those on the final climb after the Mont Thou pass, which are unavoidable on all access routes anyway 😉 ).

Faux plat montant à l'ombre dans les arbres avec nettement moins de circulation que sur les autres voies d'accès au mont Thou. Je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui veulent atteindre le mont Thou sereinement sans s'embêter avec des pourcentages importants (exceptés ceux de la montée finale après le col du mont Thou qui sont de toutes façons inévitables pour toutes les voies d'accès 😉).
