December 19, 2023,Castellar, le Berceau, le Plan du Lion boucle.

Very beautiful loop with a delicate descent, which deserves suitable shoes.
My various landscapes that you will find are grandiose.

A very beautiful loop that requires some effort for the climb and especially the steep, stony and long descent, sometimes 26%. But above all a 360 degree panorama. Sea French and Italian Mountains.
A Treat 👍
