Col de l'Espigoulier and view of Marseille

Highlight • Mountain Pass

66.7 km

The winding road that climbs from the town of Gémenos to the Espigoulier pass is impressive but the percentage that leads to this pass is not too high. The climb is very gradual. The view from the Col is splendid.

Super tour, racing cyclists without battery recommended the other way around, otherwise headwind from Plan d'Aups. Great prospects. Great descents. Very little traffic. Good asphalt in the direction of travel before Plan d'Aups, then coarse-grained.
