Descend the Galibier via the old unpaved route down. The surface is rough and technical, with a mountain bike you are most at home here. But a gravel bike with wide tires should also work.

Intersection that leads to the old route du galibier, used by the first racers of the tour de france at the beginning of the 19th century, plan for large sections of tyres, it is steep and rocky
