シャンバーヴの峠・トップ17

https://youtu.be/KdsaBL0twzY?si=-LI75WFE57aHMvCE Very well described by meckomat: first gravel, then 2km of singletrack, sometimes flat, sometimes steeper, the last 300m of elevation gain can only be achieved by pushing at least.

https://youtu.be/KdsaBL0twzY?si=-LI75WFE57aHMvCE It's not very difficult to reach, but you'll have to push the last few meters. The descent is easy. The landscape doesn't feel high alpine, but since it's all green, rolling hills, it's like being in Scotland or Ireland.

Col du Salvé, at 2,569 meters above sea level, is a pass that offers a wide and suggestive panorama among the mountains of the Saint-Barthélemy Valley. The path that leads to this point passes through woods and pastures, offering a pleasant route immersed in nature. From the hill you can admire the surrounding peaks and continue towards hidden corners such as the Rifugio Oratorio di Cuney or the Lago dell’Eremita, for those who want to prolong the experience among silence and authentic landscapes. A perfect place for those who love to walk slowly and enjoy every breath of the mountains.

The push is definitely worth it! Start driving straight from the top of the pass!
