メルカントゥールの天然記念物・トップ20

サン・エティエンヌからサン・ダルマ経由でコ・デ・ムティエールまで走り、そこからグラベルロード3kmを繋いでコ・デ・ラ・ボネットへ行きました。よりクラシックなD64を通ってサン・エティエンヌに戻りました。 このルートは、より静かで、ワイルドで、急な登り坂になり、D64のダウンヒルはより良い（しかし交通量が多い）路面とより緩やかな下りになります。 また、このルートはループになっており、信じられないほどの景色をより多く見ることができます。 グラベルの3km区間はマウンテンバイクで十分に走れます（「ブルー」レベルだと思います）。小さな沢渡りなどで一部荒れている箇所もありましたが、自転車を担いだり押したりする必要はありませんでした。 一度バイクに追い抜かれました。 ここでは天候に注意してください。特に午後の激しい雷雨には注意が必要です。近くに避難場所はありません。

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.

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.

In the town of Saint-Etienne de Tinée, in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, the Vens Lakes refuge offers a mountain setting typical of the Maritime Alps. The Vens refuge is located in one of the most prestigious places in the Mercantour Park. It is located in an environment of natural lakes, waterfalls in an old glacial cirque, rich alpine meadows and varied fauna (mountain sheep, chamois, eagles, etc.).

Located west of Mont Bego and at more than 2,000 m above sea level, the Vallée des Merveilles offers the austere beauty of a mineral and chaotic landscape, at the foot of imposing peaks reflected in multiple lakes with evocative names. There are particularly emblematic engravings, depicting themes that combine everyday life and beliefs. On the eastern slope of Mount Bego, the Fontanalba valley shows its engraved rocks in an open and welcoming place where the flora reveals all its richness. The engravings illustrate the pastoral life of the first shepherds of the Neolithic and Bronze Age, as demonstrated by the famous “sacred path”. Classified as a Historical Monument since 1989, the archaeological area of the Mont Bego rock engravings, straddling the two valleys, offers numerous discoveries, both historical and landscape, natural and cultural: welcome to one of the largest rock engraving sites in Europe . !
