Beautiful climb in two parts. First from the forest up through a beautiful nature reserve. Climb is easy to do. Then down from Tanneron for a while before doing a tough climb towards le Grand Duc with strips of 10％. Nice to combine with the climb from Pegomas and Mandelieu. Just grab 1600 altimeters in one morning.... read more

Beautiful climb in two parts. First from the forest up through a beautiful nature reserve. Climb is easy to do. Then down from Tanneron for a while before doing a tough climb towards le Grand Duc with strips of 10％.
Nice to combine with the climb from Pegomas and Mandelieu. Just grab 1600 altimeters in one morning.

Mooie beklimming in twee delen. Eerst vanuit het bos naar boven door een prachtig natuurgebied. Klim is goed te doen. Dan vanuit Tanneron even naar beneden om vervolgens een pittige klim richting le Grand Duc te doen met stroken van 10％.
Mooi om te combineren met de klim uit Pegomas en Mandelieu. Pak je op een ochtend zomaar 1600 hoogtemeters.
