From the Refuge Cézanne to the Deux Aiguilles car park via the Trou

Easy
Departure from Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon (Bouches-du-Rhône)
This trail is an alternative known to local hikers for reaching the Saint-Antonin car parks when they have just completed a circular in Sainte-Victoire: it avoids following the brown-marked route, passing through the Col de l'Oppidum (alt. 580 m), then descending a very steep and rugged path. There is a 40-metre less elevation gain, and when you are in a hurry to get to the car park or tired, taking this Trou trail is a good option, especially in bad weather.
