The highest of the three. You climb steadily up to the ridges, and there everything opens up: the Taillefer, the Grand Serre, the valley below. The descent unwinds on a gentle gradient all the way back to the door.

  • AccessStarts at the front door. The short version begins at the car park, ~1.8 km away.
  • TerrainA continuous climb; exposed ridges at the top, with occasionally gullied ground.
  • Water & shade[To be confirmed] Little shade up high — carry 1.5 L of water and start early in summer.
