It always amazes me to see how long remnants of wars remain in the landscape. This was one of many other signs of WWI.

From here, you have a truly magnificent view and can reward yourself with a light meal at the summit restaurant. Unfortunately, the hotel at the summit is currently closed. (For about a year.) As of September 2025

Enduro Trail Memorial: Starts in the forest, with a fine forest floor with roots and rocks. It's quite slippery when dry. Later, it transitions into an easy flow trail.

/!\ In the direction from Lac du Forlet to Lac Vert, the trail is very difficult, and many sections are reserved for expert mountain bikers. /!\ In the direction from Lac du Forlet to Lac Vert, carrying your bike will be mandatory for a large portion of the route!
