Beautiful view overlooking the valley!

Accessible by gravel (40mm tyres) or by mountain bike, the summit of Mont Férion (1412m) will be your finish line if you are a cyclist in full climb. Your reward will be the panoramic view: from the Alps and the Mercantour, to the Mediterranean, passing through the Paillon valley and the Var valley. You will find a watchtower which serves as a lookout to protect the massifs against fire and even houses a small refuge on the ground floor of the tower with a fireplace to warm walkers in difficulty.

If you leave from the Var valley, approximately 450m of elevation gain await you to reach Gilette, on a road in good condition but busy. The view at the top is very beautiful over the valley but also over the Château de Gilette and the surrounding mountains. The village may be a crossing point to reach the villages of the Estéron valley, or even for an ascent of Mont Vial, much higher.
