セーヌの峠・トップ7

The circular hike was closed, the campsite and the cafe were closed

The western access is good for climbing and the eastern access for descending; we had little traffic.

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.

Incredible plateau at over 1000 meters at the gateway to the Verdon.

The Col des Robines peaks at 988m and will allow you to climb to almost 1000m without making any effort because from Moriez you would have a slope of around 3km with a slope not exceeding 5% and on the Saint-André les Alpes side this will be shorter, around 1.5 km, but harder with an average of 6-7%. Be careful, however, of the often very heavy traffic on this pass because it is on the RN 202 which is HUGELY used almost all year round.

This pass is 1,065 meters above sea level, on the way to Corobin Pass. From Digne-les-Bains, the 7.6 kilometer climb includes portions between 5 and 9.5%, enough to tickle your legs.

A pass located at an altitude of 1065m near the Col du Corobin in the direction of Digne-les-Bains.

The Col de Corobin from Chaudon-Norante is a climb in the Alpes de Haute Provence region. It has a length of 7.7 kilometers and an ascent of 535 vertical meters with an average gradient of 7%, which implies a difficulty level of 413. The top of the ascent is located at 1,220 meters above sea level. On the other hand, from Digne-les-Bains via Col de Pierre Basse, it is 14.6 kilometers long and climbs 650 vertical meters with an average gradient of 4.4%, which implies a difficulty level of 448.
