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.).
