Nature is king in the Ubaye Valley.
Head off on an adventure on one of France’s most stunning passes: the Col de la Cayolle. From the top of its 2,326 m, its ascent is ranked among the 30 most beautiful climbs in Europe by “Le Cycle” magazine. -
An authentic, ‘old-fashioned’ route that follows the mountain side to the summit of the pass over a total distance of 29km, passing through the Mercantour National Park.
The road winds its way up the mountainside along the course of the Bachelard, wedged between the narrow gorges of the torrent.
It then twists and turns up to Bayasse before tackling the mountain in earnest. There are still 9km of twists and turns at 7% to swallow, through the mountain pastures.
