46 hairpin bends of pure pleasure! The French side of the Tenda consists of 8km of ascent: the first half of the road is in broken asphalt, the second half is gravel at limits for distance with road tires, but largely doable: a continuous succession of hairpin bends and a priceless view of the valley. One of the most beautiful ascents. Beware of the very bumpy surface if you decide to do it downhill ...

The descent is spectacular both for the view and for fun, unfortunately the bottom of the road is broken and sometimes dirt while the road is narrow. I recommend a gravel bike to tackle it.
