Moderate to difficult ascent, which is great to drive. Relatively little traffic, good road, very popular with cyclists from the region.

Les lacets de l'Espigoulier

Highlight • Other

From Gémenos, the Col de l'Espigoulier is reached after an 11.2km climb (574m elevation gain). The average gradient is 5.1%.
The Espigoulier's special feature? Its switchbacks! Like a beautiful mountain pass, the road twists and turns to offer views (especially of Marseille in the distance), areas for recovery, and beautiful steep sections! The surrounding landscape is simply superb.
The road was particularly quiet on the way up (between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. on a Friday in July), but it was coming hard from the opposite direction. Keep your eyes peeled 😉
