  • This is about 30 min walk from the free car parks to the top. A little steep but pretty straightforward stuff. Great views on the way up and at the top.

  • Popular hike it seems, quite a lot of people did the walk to the top which has a very nice view over the area. It took us +-30mins, for 1.7km. You can start at one of the (free) parkings, there should be enough place. We did the descent via Combe Robat til the town of Vergisson. Finally through the vineyards back to the parking. You can follow the yellow marks. This direction is very quiet and more fun. Our daughters of 8 and 11 joined us, and in total we walked 6km.
  • Beautiful view from the top! Nice walk. It took us with 2 kids (8/9 years) about 90 minutes in total, including chilling for 30 minutes at the top.
  • Beautiful view! Fun and sporty walk!
  • Fantastic
  • A little hike up the road, the view is worth. Complete the experience with a visit to the museum
