View of the Alpine giant

After crossing the bridge over the Dora Baltea, State Road 26 now winds along a straight stretch with almost zero gradients, the perfect place to look up and enjoy the view of the highest mountain in Europe.

A typical Aosta Valley village nestled in the mountains, a crossroads for Colle San Carlo, the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Pré-Saint-Didier. A little trivia: it was here that, at the end of the Second World War, a partisan brigade and a small republican brigade, putting aside all hatred, jointly opposed De Gaulle's attempt to annex the Aosta Valley to France.

Morgexから: 困難で容赦のない登り。良い軍用道路から非常に規則的な勾配で登り、自分のペースを見つけたら、あまり問題なく頂上まで着実に進むことができます。 Pré-Saint-Didierから: La Thuileまでは非常に簡単な登り（勾配約4〜5％）。そこから、登りは急勾配で困難になります（有名なMorgex側ほどではありませんが）。 夏は交通量（下り坂、両側とも十分注意してください）と南向きの露出に注意してください。南向きの露出は午後に非常に暑くなります。

A challenging and relentless climb, like a good military road, it climbs with very regular gradients that allow, once you find your rhythm, to easily reach the summit. Be careful, in summer, of traffic (use extreme caution on both sides when descending) and the southern exposure, which makes it very hot in the afternoon.

Once you drive past Runaz you can have stunning views on the peak and the glaciers, showing 4000 vertical meters of the massif. Impressive how it stands out in the valley!!

A demanding climb for trained cyclists. 10 km, 1000 m elevation gain. Also known as Col d'Arpy.

Starting point for the hike, big advantage on the way back is a bar restaurant, waiting for you for a cold drink or an ice cream. (They don't take credit cards)
