Description
Much like the Pre-Alps, this hilly route will challenge even seasoned climbers, with no fewer than seven mountain passes on the itinerary between Drôme and Hautes-Alpes.
- TipsWARNING: On this route, you may encounter livestock guard dogs tasked with protecting herds from wolf attacks.
To minimize the risk of conflict, bringing pets is strongly discouraged, even if they are on a leash.
Cyclists, please be especially vigilant: if you see a herd, you must get off your bike, stop, and let the dogs get a good look at you. Then give the herd a wide berth, keeping your bike between you and the guard dog.
In any case, stay calm, avoid sudden movements, and do not attempt to cross through the herd.
