Tips

Antonin Dulac

June 28, 2022

Highest point of the Rhône! The Rigaud monster has a wooden observation tower at its top which allows you to gain height in relation to the surrounding trees. Unfortunately some remain too large and the view and blocked on certain sides. The climb is done from the Col de Crie, from Proprières or from Chénelette each time with large double-digit percentages! In winter, the micro-road that leads to the summit is not cleared of snow, but it can be very cold there, so the road can be icy on a good layer, making it impassable by road bike. In the climb we pass by the source of Mont Saint Rigaud, miraculous water with extraordinary virtues it seems!
