Small, little-used pass which offers another version of the Col de Braus.

The climb to Monte Macaron from the east side is almost entirely gravel and alternates very demanding slopes with pedalable sections. We talked about it in our article here https://outdoortest.it/riviera-gravel-due-percorsi-gravel-a-picco-sul-mare-della-costa-azzurra/

Easy historical and botanical walk, you will discover there before or after the ruins of Chateauneuf Villevieille, a beautiful panorama, once arrived on the mount Macaron.

Difficult first part of the Disneyland trail. You start in a dark beech forest. The rocky surface and canopy make the trail difficult when wet. Quite steep in some parts but special!
