サンレミアンボスのおすすめツーリングルート

you eat very well

Passing under the imposing covered viaduct that leads to the tunnel marks the beginning of the toughest part of the climb: the gradients become more demanding (though never prohibitive), the fatigue accumulated over the previous 20 km takes its toll, and the winds from Switzerland begin to lash you... you're officially in the high mountains, after all, that's why you came here. If the day is one of the worst, with strong winds from the pass, these last 10 km will be a nightmare, but the beauty and majesty of the landscape will more than make up for even the most intense of efforts.

The highest road pass in the Aosta Valley and a place that has always fascinated the writer for its thousand-year history, the austere Mauritian hospice and the profound beauty of the landscape.

この登りは信じられないほど素晴らしいです。勾配はきつくありませんが、長く、非常に長く、果てしなく続きます。ほとんど嫌いになりそうな地点に達します。1時間以上も自転車を漕いでいるのに、まだ頂上が見えず、エネルギーは尽きかけ、風は顔を叩き続けます。自転車を投げ捨てて「もう十分だ！ここで止まる！」と言いたくなるでしょう…しかし、それはほんの一瞬のことです。なぜなら、それに挑むことを選んだのはあなた自身であり、何をしているのかをはっきりと知っていたからです。以前よりもさらに気合を入れて、残りの力すべてで最後の数キロの道を駆け抜けます。 そしてトンネルに入ると、やり遂げたのだと実感し始めます。トンネルを抜けて、わずかに左に曲がる道を進むと、まるで夢のように湖が現れます。 頂上に着くと、何世紀にもわたってこの道を歩んできた人々のことを思います。サラッシ族、ローマ人、修道士、移民、ナポレオンの兵士たち…歴史が濃密で自然が素晴らしい場所にいることを理解し、この丘を愛さずにはいられません。

If you're coming from the top, you'll now enter a long tunnel/gallery. Turn on the lights and look forward to the next descent.

Hotel Italia is highly recommended

Beautiful how the stream flows down in steps.

The Château Verdun is a medieval fortress located at an altitude of 1,350 metres above sea level in the commune of Saint-Oyen, in the Valle d’Aosta region. The castle is owned by the canons of the Grand Saint Bernard and has served as a guest house for nine centuries. The architecture of the Château Verdun is square and massive. It was originally built in the 10th and 11th centuries and is located on the road to the village of Flassin. Although it is lower than the main road of the village, it still occupies a prominent position at 1,350 metres above sea level. The castle was originally given to the monks of the Hospice du Grand-Saint-Bernard by Amédée III in 1137. It served as an agricultural annex to the hospice and as a resting place for travellers and pilgrims.
