Superb summit to do in the extension of the col de l'Oeillon. It certainly adds a little difficulty but the view is worth the detour! The telecommunications pylon is impressive and visible from all the way down the valley. Tip to enjoy the view, do not hesitate to go around the enclosure of the pylon on foot to go to the other side where a huge carved stone cross, an orientation table and a breathtaking view awaits you.

Overlooking the Pilat, superb view that can go as far as the Alps on a clear day
