Mountain biking

This is a superb, little-known paved climb from Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée. Topping out at 2454m. From here you can ride an easy gravel traverse to reach the Cime de la Bonette road or descend the Moutière down a rough but spectacular gravel road to the hamlet of Bayasse.

Gravel riding

A splendid isolated pass accessible from Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, it allows an off-road ascent of the Bonette, passing through the sublime valleys of Sestrière and Sagnas to the pass itself, then via a beautiful gravel track under the north side of the Cime de la Bonette which joins the departmental road towards Jausiers, about two kilometers below the summit.
