Pas de la Colle

Highlight • Other

This pass is the top of the really tough climb from Cassis (last 300 meters with an average gradient of 19%) and the entrance to the beautiful Route des Crêtes). It is best to drive early in the morning, otherwise there is a lot of motorbike and car traffic!

Route des Crêtes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The crest road which connects the town of La Ciotat to that of Cassis, runs in laces on the edge of the cliffs of Soubeyran (394 m), which are the highest seaside cliffs in France. The view is spectacular both in terms of the landscapes seen at the top of these cliffs and the road itself which evolves in pretty landscapes presenting a remarkable geology. This road is closed on very strong mistral days. This powerful wind can indeed be very intense at this height.
