The Waterfall - Torrent de Vens

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall rushes here directly next to the road to the valley - the cool air, which he brings, is at the driveway welcome cooling. In the downhill, you may hardly notice this gem of nature, in the narrow hairpin bends, it is advisable to focus attention on the track.

Camp des Fourches military camp

Highlight • Historical Site

The Camp des Fourches was part of a set of fortifications protecting the Ubaye valley from potential Italian attacks. This barracks in particular was used by alpine hunters whose mission was to defend the Col des Fourches.

The department wished to preserve and enhance this work, in memory of the mountain troops who fought during the First and Second World Wars. On the site, a set of explanatory panels recounts the history of this place.

View of the beautiful route to the Col de la Bonette

Highlight • Other

Equally spectacular on the way up or down. In 06/2019, the road condition on the entire southern ramp was very neat, so downhill a very enjoyable driving was possible.

Col de la Bonette

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Don’t look too hard at the Bonette’s claim – seen on signposts the length of the ascent from Jausiers in the north and from Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée in the south – that it is the highest road in Europe. Instead, marvel at the panorama in front of you which will make the debate seem inconsequential.

Col de la Bonette is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2Utf27L and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Col de la Moutière

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

Moutière Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Unpaved alpine pass, below the Cime de la Bonette, former border between France and Savoy.
