The effort of cycling up to the top of the eternal hill is well rewarded by the beauty of the village. Perhaps a bit too touristy in high season but perfect at the end of October! Accommodation for pilgrims, by donation (but 25€ recommended) open to hikers. The Way of St. James towards Clamecy (and the Nivernais canal) is accessible by gravel bike (with panniers!).

From Martangy to the west, this pass provides access to Saint-Benin-des-Bois. 4km long, with an average gradient of 4%, it offers reasonable gradients on a well-maintained road through the undergrowth. At the summit (434m) is an imposing telecommunications tower.

Coming from Nyon, Komoot allows the direct route via Les Verges. However, it's gravel, and at the end you have to carry your bike up a small embankment. It's better to take the outside route via the Route des Quemins (a 100m detour).
