The area is open all year round, except when closed due to fire danger.
The Route de la Gardiole is permanently closed to motorised vehicles.

To the south, a zone classified as dangerous with a shooting range, is also closed to the public (see the map). As a result, it is forbidden to climb Monts Lantin, Saint-Cyr, and Carpiagne.
