The summit has served as a geographical reference point in the Morvan since ancient times along with many other peaks in the region. Local communities historically used these natural landmarks for navigation and to understand the lay of the land around them.
Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional hiking events throughout the seasons, connecting visitors with the natural heritage of Burgundy's highest peaks.
The marked trail is easy to follow and accessible without special equipment, with several starting points scattered throughout the Morvan park. Bring sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing since mountain conditions can change, and allow time to enjoy the surrounding views along the way.
