Col de la Valdingarde Ascent

Highlight • Climb

Nice climb, quiet and car-free. Attention: bad asphalt, so descend carefully. In the village at the bottom of the climb, great coffee at les templiers.

There are some very pretty views from this section of road. This section goes down or up very gradually over 3km. The quality of the road is quite good.

June 24, 2025,Sortie G1 du 24 juin 2025

A great outing with just five people this morning.
Consistency, good humor, and solidarity summed up this rather physically demanding outing, punctuated by four passes, offering, as always, magnificent, slightly misty views this morning. 😊

August 26, 2025,Sortie G1 du 26 août 2025

G1 outing carried out by 4 people, 2 young locomotives, Laurent and Dominique and 2 old ones, JC and Bibi 😜 in a slipstream chair on the flat and dropped in the passes, as expected 🤣

February 29, 2024,Runde von Frejus über St. Maxim und den Col de la Valdingarde

Moderate traffic along the coast, practically no traffic in the mountains. From the ascent to Col de la Valdingarde, the whole descent to Roquebrune very bad road!
