Pour débuter cette collection, quatre parcours effectués au départ de Chantemerle, Serre-Chevalier. L'endroit est idéal comme point de départ et offre des possibilités innombrables pour des sorties gravel engagé, et néanmoins tout à fait faisables, puisque je les ai effectuées sans entraînement.
Du plus facile au plus difficile : Névache, Lac d'Orceyrette, col du Lautaret et Janus / Montgenèvre. Des panoramas à vous couper le peu de souffle qui vous reste en montée ! Et à chaque fois des itinéraires offrant des terrains variés.
Remerciements et gratitude à Sergio pour avoir partagé avec nous certains de ses parcours favoris.

Under the experienced leadership of Sergio, this valley of Clarée and the waterfalls of Fontcouverte is a pure delight. At the opening, a small, steep and charming road that brought us to a viewpoint above the forts of Briançon. Then a bit of town, quickly another path, still a bit of circulating road…

In Sergio and Claire's alpine garden - a true paradise for committed gravel lovers. The military road up to the forts, then the Janus - the climb was tough for me. Then the descent to Montgenèvre via the ski slopes. Pizza at the station, and off we go again for a good and beautiful bit of stony descent…

The most pleasant gravel climb via the Clos des Puys and the Mélezin: no cars, very beautiful panoramas between the wooded and fresh portions. After the Mélezin, gravel descent to the hamlet of Ayes, and then a portion of the road to the superb Orceyrette lake. A happiness that this circuit. The Orceyrette…

A cool climb then harder in the last section before the Lautaret road pass, via gravel tracks, small secondary roads, and more technical and steep mountain trails. Headwind as it should. Another superb gravel day starting from Serre Che, more or less following the meanders of the Guisane, a magnificent…

A last lap all together, with Dominique who joined us. So beautiful ! And how lucky to have companions such as Alice, Sergio, David, Fabrice, Dom and my André all this week. We only missed our injured Claire. Life Magic in action!

It will be a good memory of the Izoard! Picnic above Cervières all together - superb spot. And the ice cream stop has become a ritual on the way back!

We had started this gravel course, far from cars, in A / R to the Col du Lautaret, from Chantemerle, two years ago. It's a real delight, only the gravel part under the avalanche barriers, before the summit, is really difficult. And we had the gift of top weather at the top - café terrace without the…

2 beautiful climbs and 2 beautiful gravel descents. The Pelvoux in the background. The sandwich break at noon. The torrent of Fournel. The ice cream on the way back. All good as it should! David, great GO!!
