It's a postcard landscape: a light pebble beach, a lake shimmering in the sun, the imposing silhouette of the Obiou on the horizon.

In the afternoon heat on the south-facing slope, very little shade. The last 3km are steep. Warning, no water at La Bâtie (cemetery gate locked), refill well before!

Trail quite chaotic and steep, more MTB than gravel. We were on a tour so loaded, we regretted it even though the view is incredible.

From Saint-Michel-les-Portes, it's about 7 km at an average gradient of 8%. The last few kilometers often reach double digits. A cruel climb if it's the last one of your day...
