    Mountain biking

    The Col du Sommeiller culminates at 2995 meters above sea level. It is climbed by a long gravel track on the Italian side. You will come across many bikers and 4x4s during your ascent. It is possible to descend by its French side, however the trace of the path is almost non-existent. If you plan to go down this side, make sure the weather is good, that you have a good GPS and that you have an excellent technical level.

    It is the highest road in Europe and climbing it with your own legs is like conquering it!

    Colle del Sommelier, not a difficult climb, the first stretch of asphalt is smooth despite the slopes. From 2600 m the dirt road becomes very bumpy.
