Approaches

From North. A short climb leaves D40 and the river Menoge behind. The road climbs between neat land boundaries. Fields make up regular geometric patterns between the forest, that is allowed to remain standing. On top is a village with various businesses and houses, scattered over the surrounding hills. Turnoffs on rougher paths at the top promise to lead higher.

From South. (described downwards). A gentle descent leads past a busy village or two. I'm not sure if you can see high peaks during the descent. In my case I saw clouds at every elevation. This side has a more uniform approach. It  leads into a large conglomeration of busy valley towns with all their traffic and businesses, taking advantage of the easy access in front of the "real mountains".
