A succession of passages in the undergrowth will lead you to the summit of Ruth, the highest point of your route. You will appreciate the landscape and the many views of the area. It's a descent with high percentages in places and a terrain that can be slippery depending on the conditions.
The last part is more of a descending profile, however be careful there are some climbs which could hurt your legs at the end of the route. Then a final descent to reach the village of Escale.
