Tips from the Community
We first hiked the route along the upper slope, bringing some food and water. It was a beautiful walk, and on the way back, we made a nice stop in the village. Be sure to check the restaurant opening hours.

Petite Cascade de Tendon – Small Waterfall in the Countryside Tucked away in the sparse forest near Tendon lies the "Petite Cascade," the smaller of the two waterfalls in the area. An idyllic spot where the water cascades over rocks into a moss-covered streambed – tranquil, natural, and refreshing. 💧 Ideal for a short rest, a few atmospheric photos, or simply to pause for a moment. 💬 Tip: Worth seeing even when the water level is low – best visited after rain or in spring.

The "Petite Cascade de Tendon" is also very impressive. The water cascades 10 meters into a thunderous drop in two stages.

Beautiful little col with about 200 meters of altitude difference, you can continue pedalling, but you do feel that you are gaining altitude. Beautiful stretch through the forest.
