This is one of the premier descents in the area, starting from the summit of L’Arpille, one of the highest points in the Préalpes d’Azur. From the peak, the trail follows the northern slope (ubac) of the mountain for approximately 7 kilometers, with a 900-meter vertical drop—proportions worthy of a true "marathon" descent.
Since its restoration for mountain biking, it has become a must-ride route in the valley, offering a breathtaking panoramic view from its ridgeline starting point. The itinerary includes two transition sections (liaisons). The return link between Gars and Saint-Auban, though relatively long, remains pleasant and easy-rolling. After all, those beautiful calades (cobbled stone trails) have to be earned... unless you opt for a shuttle between Gars and Saint-Auban.
