A very pretty pass leading up from the Calanque de Morgiou. Longer but less spectacular than the Col de Sormiou. The road is in fairly poor condition, so it's best to use a gravel bike rather than a road bike. Traffic is almost non-existent, but the road is very narrow, so take care on the descent.... read more

A very pretty pass leading up from the Calanque de Morgiou. Longer but less spectacular than the Col de Sormiou.

Très joli col qui permet de remonter de la Calanque de Morgiou. Plus long mais moins spectaculaire que le col de Sormiou. La route est en assez mauvais état, privilégier un Gravel plutôt qu’un vélo de route. La circulation est presque inexistante, mais la route est très étroite donc faites attention à la descente.
