De bedste landevejsruter omkring Chaudon-Norante

Et stykke oldtidshistorie venter på dig her

Impressive, mighty fortress above Sisteron. Magnificent views over the countryside and the Durance River. More information: https://www.citadelledesisteron.fr

The western access is good for climbing and the eastern access for descending; we had little traffic.

The southern slope, from Chaudon-Norante, is advertised at an average gradient of 6.6% for a length of about 8km. But the road has 4 or 5 flat sections over 150 or 200m, which means that in reality we are very often on slopes between 8 and 10%. This pass nevertheless remains accessible to any moderately trained cyclist and, the icing on the cake, it is reserved for cyclists at certain times during the summer. The view at the summit is magnificent.

Without mentioning the "unmissable", here is a very pleasant little road because it is rarely used by cars.

Very beautiful views while climbing the Espinouse. However, on the way down from the Col de l'Orme, when you take the road on the left, the road is very dangerous; you have to be very careful; we pass through the middle of farms, among other things.

A lively village where you can drink cold drinks or eat
