Completely false description, probably a mistake in location. We are here in the Alpes de Haute Provence. Larches and stone pines, but no umbrella pines. But above all, it is strictly forbidden to swim in the Col Bas lakes (see Prefectural Biotope Protection Order) and also prohibited from leaving mountain bike trails or marked trails.

It is a very complicated climb with asphalt not in good condition. The views are stunning.

The climb is very demanding, you have to pay attention to the asphalt which is not in good condition on both sides. The view of the lake is magnificent.

A climb with gentle slopes.

Nestled between the Tête du Vallon du Loup and the Savernes peak, the Col Bas culminates at an altitude of 2,115 meters. It opens the way to the lakes of the same name located a little further below.

The Col Bas from La Ferrière is a climb in the Alpes-Maritimes region. It has a length of 1.7 kilometers and an ascent of 124 vertical meters with an average gradient of 7.2%, which implies a difficulty level of 110. The top of the ascent is located at 1,199 meters above sea level. A beautiful and hard climb to Col Bas, in which we cross a beautiful forest of larch and stone pines. The landscapes are incredible and you will have time to take a dip in one of the lakes higher up. The climb can be a bit steep but it is worth it for the landscapes of exceptional plant and animal richness.

The description applies to the D3, but the condition of the D203 in the last leg before it meets the D3 is steeply downhill and in a catastrophic state.
