Forest singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here is a slightly technical but really nice section! We meander through the forest, then we come out of the trees and discover the lake of Sainte-Croix. Going downhill, diving in the forest is just as pleasant.

Grand Margès Summit

Highlight • Summit

From its height of 1,577 meters, the Grand Margès overlooks the Gorges du Verdon and offers an exceptional view of the Sainte-Croix lake, the Valensole plateau and the Prealps of Digne and Castellane. The last section to the top is technical but fun. We wind between the rocks with pretty views, it's really nice. If you are passing through Aiguines, the ascent of the Grand Margès is not to be missed!
