E-bike discovery - Has Obélix been there ?

None of the Gallic characters of the famous comic book have come this way, alas! The monolith is the work of nature herself. it is in fact a needle of cargneule sedimentary rock standing 93 metres tall on a bend where you can stop to admire it. After seeing it your imagination tells you that somebody with a magic potion must have placed it there!

But there are no Gallic adventures to be had here, just a relaxing moment in the beautiful pine forest amid fragrances and colours that remind you of the Mediterranean. This forest of larch, mountain pine and arolla pine wears a gown of pink at the end of the winter, thanks to the winter-flowering heather (a protected species) that grows here. It gives the site a very special atmosphere. You may come across a squirrel. There are many in this forest and they live in peace, as Idéfix isn't here to chase them.
