From Auribeau to the summit, a challenging path with large stones and slippery gravel. From the summit, heading east, the trail is very variable in terms of surface. The descent is slow. The beautiful smooth roads, as shown in the photo, were only a very short stretch. Most of the route is very uneven, making it tough on the arms and shoulders. The views are phenomenal: in clear weather, you can see from the Mediterranean Sea to the Alps. From D31 to Cereste, a fantastic descent.

The dam of Lake Zola can be reached via beautiful trails. It was built between 1847 and 1854 and is one of the first arch dams in the world; according to Wikipedia, it may even be the very first. The lake served to supply Aix-en-Provence with drinking water, which was piped there via an aqueduct. A beautiful destination directly from Aix, or from Le Tholonet.

Old watchtower on the hill above Aix - unfortunately, it can't be climbed, which is a shame, as the view from the top must be magnificent.

From the east, the Col des Portes is very gentle, with the gradient barely noticeable. This makes the quiet, narrow road all the more enjoyable. From the west, the gradient is significantly steeper, especially in the final climb.

Long climb but worth it 😀

Before this marker, it's not a single track but rather a natural descent into the torrent bed. The descent is smooth, but once you're in the torrent bed, it's very narrow and rough, making it impossible to pick up speed. However, don't turn around because after this marker, it gets cool, even really cool! (Review left in July 2025 and ridden on a hardtail, FYI)

In winter, bring warm clothes and a raincoat because the weather can change quickly.
