    countless bends - impressive pass road

    Wonderful pass! In summer 2022 this was perfectly rideable, ascending from the french side. Rules apply for motorized vehicles, but nobody there to impose them. The gravelly parts had been freshly flattened and were no trouble with a racing bike.

    Beautiful pass road. First tunnel entrance of Tenda. Almost 50 hairpin bends dirt road (old asphalt first 25 returned). From 1300 to 1900 meters.

    old road of Colle di Tenda, or the carriageway built around 1780 at the behest of the King of Sardinia Vittorio Amedeo III and practically abandoned after the opening of the road tunnel in 1882. However, the old road has always been viable, also because it is affected by the military traffic.
    Entrance: last bend before the tunnel. Dirt road with no entry sign.
