Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Midi-Pyrénées

Seen from the village, it is impressive. Intimidating, almost. More than 300 metres above your heads, perched on its «pog» at 1 207 metres above sea level, it even tends to demotivate the least brave. However, the hiking that takes you to you is most glamorous, and the view from there… A let us lose the words! You dominate the whole region: the country of Olmes, the lake of Montbel, and even in the distant weather, the Mediterranean. Please note that the end of the ascent and access to the castle are paid: a modest and justified amount to the views of the maintenance they require.

Duration: 2 h.
