Beautiful, steep climb. Covered with lavender at the top, making it recognisable from afar as a purple mountain. It really is continuously steep, the last 500m are pretty bad gravel but for the best views this should not stop you. Highly recommended in the Rodez area. At the top, nice views up to the central massif with in fine weather the peaks recognisable as the Puy Mary. ... read more

Prachtige, steile klim. Bovenaan bedekt met lavendel waardoor hij van ver te herkennen is als een paarse berg. Hij is echt continu steil, de laatste 500m zijn behoorlijk slecht grind maar voor het beste uitzicht mag dit je niet tegenhouden. Een aanrader in de streek van Rodez. Bovenaan mooi zicht tot het centraal massief met in mooi weer de toppen te herkennen als de Puy Mary.
