Very beautiful hike with a magnificent panorama. But it's no longer GR and it really goes up, approaching the summit we walk along the cliff holding a chain placed as a handrail. Not recommended for young children and people prone to vertigo. Avoid in humid weather.

With this highlight, hikers will find not just one, but a group of three crosses on this mountain - as the name "Les Trois Croix" suggests. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates the death of Jesus Christ, and always the middle one. But the other two are not here without reason: According to the biblical tradition of the New Testament, Jesus Christ, accused of being the "King of the Jews", was not sentenced to death by crucifixion alone, but together with two criminals and executed (see, for example, the evangelist Luke 22:33):

+ "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull; there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

The presence of the three crosses at the top dates back to the death of Christ.

It was in the early 1990s that a sculptor created the three crosses that you find today at the top.
