05200 Crévoux
A legendary pass, Le Parpaillon (2637 m) is one of the last remaining examples of what a major Alpine pass might have looked like before the era of cars and tarmac.
Discover an unspoilt, pure and wild mountain where the marmots will announce your arrival. Like many roads at the time, this mountain road was built by the military. It's not unusual to come across road bikes that have lost their way after being misled by the classification as a departmental road! Medium
  • Tips
