Even for poor climbers, it is quite doable from Arleuf. Haut Folin from Arleuf via Col du Haut Folin is a climb in the Morvan region. The route is 8.3 kilometers long and covers 295 meters of altitude with an average gradient of 3.6%.
At the end of Arleuf, you first lose a few meters of altitude before the D500 leads from Arleuf to Fosse with an initially relatively low gradient; at the end of this modest hamlet, the road then climbs in a few bends to the right along a ridge at 6-8% and opens up the view to spectacular views of the Yonne valley. The road then climbs extremely irregularly through dense forest, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at up to 7%, and it is not easy to find a rhythm. After a total of 6 km, you reach a plateau where, apart from a few ramps, the progress is somewhat flatter and faster. After the D179/D500 junction, continue to follow the D500 towards the summit, and here the route becomes a little more ambitious with a gradient of 5-7%, before finally reaching the summit in the middle of a dense mixed forest and thus a mountain classification of the 2nd category.

The climb is easy to do, as there are always easy passages in between
