アンシャストレーズの峠・トップ20

If there were a ranking of the most beautiful, undiscovered Alpine passes in the cycling world, the Moutière would certainly be a contender. Starting from Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, the climb through the valleys of Sestrière and Sagnas is simply sublime.

Very nice house with good food, which can also be reached by car via the D908 (except in winter).

Nice climb. There are some sections with significant slopes, but the view is worth the effort.

The Col de la Moutière is located in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur. This climb is part of the Alps. From Saint Etienne de Tinée, the Col de la Moutière is 18.3 km long. Over this distance 1300 altimeters are bridged. The average slope of the rise is, therefore, 7.1%. You can check the current traffic and winter situation on the Col de la Moutière in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur on Bison futé.

From Colle della Moutiere 3.5 km of easy uphill dirt road lead you to Col de la Bonnette.

At 2444 m, the Col de la Moutière is a very little-known high pass in the Alpes-Maritimes. From Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, the climb is 18 km long with 1300 meters of elevation gain at an average of 7% with some steeper sections towards the end. A worthwhile climb for the spectacular views of the surrounding peaks and valleys! From here, you can continue to the Cime de la Bonette.

Located at an altitude of 2250 m in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, this refuge offers us delicious dishes and rooms to spend the night. The landscape is wonderful! https://www.tourisme-alpes-haute-provence.com/hebergement/uvernet-fours/apidae-refuge-du-col-d-allos-4722544/

Coming up from Guillestre, there is quite a bit of traffic in Bar due to various road works. But that was the minor problem today. The bigger one was the change in weather to cool and rainy.
