The first part of the uphill is quite steep and on sunny days you will be "kissed by the flame". The partially ruined "Église Saint-Martin de Corsavy" just before reaching the village of Corsavy is definitely worth a stop. In Corsavy refill your bottles at the fountain in the center, this will be your last chance to do so until you reach the Refuge de Batère. After Corsavy the road goes almost flat northward for some km's (nice to prepare for the final uphill). After passing abandoned old mines and miner's homes you'll finally reach the "Refuge de Batère" (1450m) - enjoy a well earned rest up there (btw: the food is excellent).
If you want you can take a short hike on an unpaved road to the Tour the Batère (the old stone tower you've seen just before reaching the Refuge). The view from this old stone signaltower is stunning (look for other towers in sight, witch which the Tour the Batère was communicating in the past).

Start west of Arles sur Tech, where the D43 begins. If you came by car, you'll find some place to park there.
