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.
You're guaranteed to be amazed on this 100% nature trail through winding roads, forests, waterfalls and hamlets.
Admire the alpine meadows and the animals that rule the mountain, with marmots rumoured to be faithful supporters!
