Departure from La Londe-les-Maures (Var)
The suggested routes are very quiet, even in the height of summer. The climb up the pass is via the northern slope, which is therefore relatively shaded, and even on hot days, the temperature is bearable.
The descent, via the D41 towards Borme-les-Mimosas, offers magnificent views of the ‘big blue’.
