The Tenda hill is famous for its fortifications and for the "road of 50 hairpin bends", which through the hill connects the Vermenaia valley in Italy to the Roia valley in France.

Alpe d’Huez famously has 21 switchbacks, hairpins, or lacets, call them what you want. The Passo dello Stelvio has 48 on the classic eastern side but that’s in 16.5 kilometres and all on tarmac. The Col de Tende manages the same number in 7.4 kilometres. If you like getting off the beaten track, you will like the Col de Tende.

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