Ascent of Mont Saint-Rigaud on 2011-08-20| Date: | Saturday, August 20, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Mont Saint-Rigaud | | Location: | France | | Elevation: | 1008 m / 3310 ft |
Ascent Trip ReportA delightful highpoint in the Beaujolais Villages wine region with an IGN trig point (borne geodesique) and a wooden viewing tower, with double helical stairways and a hand-painted ceramic toposcope, giving views over the surrounding forested hills. We approached via Chénelette to the south on the D337 then on minor roads: the hill is well signposted with small green signs. There is a tarmacked road almost to the top, but the public must use the parking area at the road junction at 945 metres elevation then walk the final 600 metres or so, past a holy spring, to the top.
