ピュイサンピエールのおすすめツーリングルート

Villar-Saint-Pancrace, located in the French Hautes-Alpes, has deep historical roots linked to the Briançon area. It was a community of the Escartons of Briançon (charter of 1343) as Villarus Sanctus Pancratius. Historically, it was linked to agriculture and, until 1987, to coal mining by local farmers (charbourièro), particularly in the hamlet of La Tour.

At the top of this hill there are many shops, bars and restaurants equipped for cyclists.

Here is the route for the ascent of the Col du Lautaret starting from Le Monêtier-les-Bains

It's the first thing you notice, even from afar, when you arrive at Monginevro

A fantastic mountain, making this climb was very challenging, the asphalt is in excellent condition and the gradients are regular.

Church dedicated to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is located in the center of Claviere, slightly off the provincial road. In front is a pedestrian plaza with several benches; to the side is a park with a beautiful fountain (drinking water). All around are bars and restaurants. In the background, the stunning mountains of the Susa Valley. The portal is remarkable, with a beautiful fresco depicting the Nativity.

A section of the SP24 road closed to motorized traffic after the opening of the new tunnel just before Cesana, and now reserved for cyclists and hikers. Ideally divided into two sections: the lower section, almost entirely within a man-made avalanche tunnel, features large windows along the valley side that provide sufficient natural light for safe travel; the upper section, almost vertically overlooking the valley below, offers breathtaking views. This is a mandatory route, as the new road tunnel is off-limits to bicycles, but since you have to pass through it, it's worth enjoying it thoroughly.

Whether Europe is united or not, crossing a border always has a special feeling.
