The Corobin pass peaks at 1,211 meters. From Digne-les-Bains a fairly long slope of almost 16 kilometers awaits you. The first eight are pretty straightforward. You will cross the intermediate Col des Abeilles (710 meters). Secondly, you will see the slope steepen quite significantly over 3.3 kilometers at almost 9% on average to reach the second intermediate pass, that of Pierre Basse (1,065 meters).

Arriving at this pass, take the time to breathe, a flat area then a slight descent over three kilometers towards the hamlet of La Clappe will help you. Then, return to the attack for 1.4 kilometers at an 8% average, taking the eight bends which will allow you to cross the summit of the Col du Corobin.

Small pass at 1211 m to avoid Route Napoleon (although Napoleon himself took this pass instead of the route through the valley).

The southern slope, from Chaudon-Norante, is advertised at an average gradient of 6.6% for a length of about 8km. But the road has 4 or 5 flat sections over 150 or 200m, which means that in reality we are very often on slopes between 8 and 10%. This pass nevertheless remains accessible to any moderately trained cyclist and, the icing on the cake, it is reserved for cyclists at certain times during the summer. The view at the summit is magnificent.
