라 크루아 발메르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산길

Very nice route suitable for gravel. A good balance between paved roads and gravel tracks. Between the Col du Canadel and La Croix-Valmer, the DFCI track winds along the ridge offering beautiful views between the sea and inland massifs. Be careful in summer: the DFCI track may be prohibited (fire risks). Check authorizations on the site https://www.risk-prevention-feu.fr/var/index.html.

Magnificent road, perfect complement to the Route des Cretes. Great tip, @Fabrice!

Mythical pass, fantastic route and a breathtaking view of the Levant Islands (Porquerolles, Port Cros and Levant).

The descent to La Croix Volmar is a real feast for the eyes on great asphalt.

Very beautiful pass, to do absolutely if you pass through the region

The Col de Canadel is 4.3 km long with a total drop of 239 m. The average steepness of the climb is 5.5% with some 10% steeper sections near the top before flattening out to 2%.

The path to the climb is quite long with about 7-8 km of flat to hilly terrain before. The climb starts cleanly with 5km to the summit, where the gradient gradually increases from 2% to 8% towards the summit. The views at the top are worth the effort!

An easy and beautiful pass! On the south side, we have a permanent view of the Mediterranean with breathtaking landscapes. North side, wilder, we are in the Massif des Maures in a sumptuous pine forest. To be done very early in the morning in summer, especially the south side, which is quickly a furnace. The ideal is to continue with the Route des Crêtes, a veritable balcony above the sea, and the Col du Babaou, wilder with its typical landscapes of the Provençal coast.
