About a 45 minute walk from the Col de Cayolle car park. Good passable path in good weather. Bring warm clothes, the wind can be brisk and fresh.

Cayolle Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Cayolle is a little known pass. Its name is not very familiar, yet it culminates at more than 2,324 meters above sea level and offers a remarkable panorama and very quiet roads.

August 25, 2022,Circuit les Lacs mit Blick auf den Lac Allos
At the beginning there is a steep ascent to the Col de petite Cayolle, then mostly moderate ups and downs on some narrow paths.
Fantastic views of Mont Pelat, the Var Valley and Lac Allos (possible with a small detour). Past several small mountain lakes.

An extraordinary route with views of lakes and rocks of all beauty. The Allos lake has regained its previous water level. 👍
