Of all the great stretches of road in the region, this serpentine part of the Madone d'Utelle climb is the best you can do. Personally, I found it as a departure even more beautiful than in the driveway. In any case, you can enjoy a great scenic view, but what makes this section so extraordinary is the way organic and artistic the road was built into the mountains. This is street art at the highest level. If you drive down here is just a problem: Should I pull it through and enjoy to the fullest or interrupt this river, to stop photo stop ...

Supercool climb with S turns and it's not that steep, you can even enjoy the views while climbing. After that a nice downhill. We didn't see any car in all the climb or downhill. You feel you are in the middle of the nature!
