Barracks, now in a state of collapse, be careful

Nestled in the Southern Alps, the Col du Raton offers a wild and unspoiled route, perfect for mountain bike enthusiasts. Culminating at 1,686 meters, it crosses landscapes of steep mountains, pine forests and alpine meadows. The pass reveals breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding valleys, with a clear view of the neighboring peaks. The climb, although sporty, is rewarded by the raw beauty of nature.

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.

A few meters from the Col du Saboulet and therefore from the border line, in Italian territory there is this large barrack useful as a shelter in case of rain

Another hill that you meet doing the "Giro dei laghi di Sant'Anna". It is located almost halfway and is on the border between Italy and France
