Montée de la Pène

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This gravel track to the west with an average drop of ~8-10% is much more accessible than its (poorly) paved counterpart to the east, with a drop of around 16%. View of the Pic Saint-Loup and the Puech des Mourgues throughout the ascent and the panorama at the top is magnificent!

Montlaur Castle

Highlight • Castle

A unique place steeped in history. Watch out for rocks and falls, the trails are poorly marked (or not marked at all). Provide GPS/map.
