After a long, unpaved climb, you reach the top of Col de la Pousterle. From here, you have stunning views over the Vallouise valley and Puy Saint Vincent. Once on the Pousterle plateau, you can explore in any direction along the numerous unpaved roads.

Beautiful col that can be reached mainly unpaved from several sides. Very suitable for climbing with your gravel bike or MTB.
