    The Col de la Cayolle deserves to be better known. From Saint-Martin-d'Entraunes, the climb is magnificent, spanning 20 kilometers at an average gradient of 6.3%. A magnificent hors catégorie climb at an altitude of 2,324 meters.

    The Col de la Cayolle is a mountain pass in the Southern Alps of France, located at an altitude of 2,324 meters, east of Mont Pelat (3,051 m). It crosses a watershed between the Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments. It is open for six to seven months of the year and thus allows travel between the Ubaye Valley to the north, via the Bachelard Valley, and the Var Valley to the south. It is not cleared of snow from December to May and is then closed to all traffic.
