BY, spectacular and wide valley

A magnificent open valley

Alpe Ponteille, in the heart of the Mont Avic Natural Park, lies in a wide glacial basin among high-altitude pastures surrounded by spectacular serpentine rock formations and mountain pine forests. Don't miss the magnificent Ponteille waterfall, where the Chalamy stream makes a spectacular leap.

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。

A very beautiful Alpine-style tour, steep in sections but cyclable. On the way down, you cross several streams that can become impassable after heavy rains or spring thaws. Be aware that there are two exposed sections that require caution; fixed ropes facilitate the crossing. Be aware that one section is closed (barriers have been knocked down) due to a collapsed wooden walkway. The section is manageable but carries a high risk of falling (you have to carry your bike over a 15 cm thick and 1.5 m long beam!) Before this, a very narrow section in a rocky crevice is almost impossible to cycle; the handlebars barely fit. One solution is to bring suitable wrenches to fold the handlebars parallel to the frame. Be aware that these sections require absolute mastery, with exposed and dangerous sections.
