The Col de la Couillole is a mountain pass in the Massif du Mercantour-Argentera of the French Alps, situated at an altitude of 1,678 m (5,505 ft) in the Alpes-Maritimes department, France. The road connection is open for six to seven months of the year, allowing travel between the Cians gorges in the west and the Tinée valley in the east.

Col Saint Martin (el. 1500 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the department of Alpes-Maritimes in France.[1] It is traversed by the D-2205 highway.[2] The place has been crossed at the Tour de France road cycling race in 1973, 1975 and 2020, as well as at multiple editions of the Paris-Nice.

This (southern) face of the Col de la Bonette is more spectacular than the north face and also a bit tougher, as it has more kilometers and more elevation gain. I've always done it downhill, so it's on my list of challenges.

Beautiful hill located above an emerald lake located in the Stura Valley. After Bagni di Vinadio a Pianche, turn left towards Bagni di Vinadio, Strepeis. Once past Strepeis, continue to San Bernolfo 1663 m, where you can park before the town in the clearings on the side of the road or in the square on the dirt road after the town in the direction of the Vallone di San Bernolfo. Take the dirt road to the Rifugio de Alexandris Foches – Laus, crossing the small bridge over the Corborant stream and facing a short descent until the fork on the right. Follow the cobblestone path with very steep slopes. After several sharp bends, follow the stony track for a few hundred meters passing the refuge 1910 m and then reach the Colletto del Laus 1950 m, from where you can contemplate the impressive lake of San Bernolfo 1913 m below.

The western and French slope of the Col de la Lombarde is hard and long with 20 km and almost 1,500m of elevation gain. Until you reach the Isola 2000 ski resort, which is the main part of the climb, you travel along a road that goes up a very narrow valley. The first kms are the hardest, with an average of 9% and ramps above 10%. Afterwards, the slope softens and is very constant, with some rest sections. After the Isola 2000 station, we face the last 4 km where the slope increases to 8%, with several horseshoe curves and very beautiful views of the valley and the ski resort. A port that remembers the old mountain passes. A pleasure for the senses.
