Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A beautiful, lightly traveled road along the Gave d'Issaux. In two parts: one making its way between rock walls with beautiful views of the mountain foothills, and the other in the heart of a forest offering a haven of freshness during hot summer days. Very pleasant.

Nice little pass! Ideal for warming up before bigger passes, or to finish a ride with a last "burst of energy". Pleasant setting, beautiful panoramas
