a pass that culminates at about 1,070 meters above sea level, little traffic, a steady climb from the Gitenay mill over 7 km with an average gradient of 7%, very pleasant climb in nature, with plenty of shade.

A very nice and pleasant pass with several climbs more or less accessible depending on the level and distance. Each side offers its share of landscapes and small villages. If you want to climb it for the beauty of the landscapes, I recommend the ascent via Les Noës or via Charrier, and for those seeking a difficult climb, Charrier also serves as the hardest side.

A long, steady climb. Almost no cars, wide roads and beautiful surroundings! Hard to find a coffee or lunch place though.

Approximately 19 meters high, this dam holds back water from the Credogne and Etivaux streams. It also provides a peaceful place to relax.

This ancient path, near the hamlet of La Bletterie, is lined with majestic trees over 400 years old, whose distinctive shape is the result of human pruning. You'll feel like you're in a fairy tale as you admire the moss-covered trunks, the branches reaching toward the sky, and the lovers' initials engraved on the bark.

Saint-Vincent Rock is an imposing volcanic rock that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys. It is a natural wonder that dates back millions of years, when lava erupted from a fissure. Later, the sea receded, and tectonic movement lifted the lava, creating the impressive rock that stands today. You can explore the ruins of an ancient castle that once crowned the rock and admire a statue of the Virgin and Child, called "Our Lady of Up There," installed in 2012.
