Beautiful pass road. Enter the first tunnel of Tenda. Almost 50 dirt road bends (old asphalt first 25 back). From an altitude of 1300 to 1900.

old road of Colle di Tenda, or the carriage road built around 1780 at the behest of the King of Sardinia Vittorio Amedeo III and practically abandoned after the opening of the road tunnel in 1882. However, the old road has always remained passable, also because military traffic.
Take the last bend before the tunnel. Dirt road with no entry sign.

Wonderful pass! In summer 2022 this was perfectly rideable, ascending from the french side. Rules apply for motorized vehicles, but nobody there to impose them. The gravelly parts had been freshly flattened and were no trouble with a racing bike.

Can both this road and the costorino road be taken from the Col di Tenda 1800m to go down to Val Roya? Usability by bike?
