We were there at the end of September 2024, and there was already a lot of snow. Be sure to check the weather conditions beforehand. The snow made the hike significantly more challenging. Many people weren't well prepared.

This is the famous waterfall that can be seen from the highway. The Arpenaz waterfall is impressive at 270 meters high. It is ranked 3rd in the country and the 1st waterfall in the French Alps.

Superb rocky hole at the top of the mountain. Difficult to access (bike on your back) on the way up and 150m unrideable at the start of the descent on either side. Prefer to go up via Grand Crêt and go down via Paccaly. Very technical, steep and exposed trail. Reserved for excellent descenders.

The view from the Belvédère du Pas du Roc is breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of the valley below. From this vantage point, you can admire the vast landscape, where rolling hills, dense forests and meandering rivers create a picturesque scene. The dramatic cliffs and rugged terrain add to the grandeur of the view.

Breathtaking viewpoint over the Pertuis valley and the Diau cave, and the rocky bar with the Plan de l'Aigle and the Tête de Bunant. Be very careful on the steps of the Sentier des Espagnols. It's slippery, even in dry weather.

A majestic summit resembling a pyramid from the Cenise side, the Jallouvre - or Jalouvre - is a mythical summit whose ascent, although not difficult compared to its neighbor Pointe Blanche overhanging it by 30m, remains in the memory like that of a almost epic adventure between grueling scree (on both sides), the mythical Col du Razoir (the aptly named) and the Passage de la Cravate which, in the end, poses no more problem than that when the residual snowfields have disappeared, unless that we are subject to vertigo. In summary, one of the most beautiful hikes in the area in my opinion, for which you still need to be sure-footed and in good shape, but which can be tamed quite easily. Do not miss !

After a nice climb, we find ourselves straddling two very different valleys under this natural limestone arch, all in all impressive.
