샤토우르동‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산길

climb suitable for everyone, with very gentle and regular slopes

The southern slope, from Chaudon-Norante, is advertised at an average gradient of 6.6% for a length of about 8km. But the road has 4 or 5 flat sections over 150 or 200m, which means that in reality we are very often on slopes between 8 and 10%. This pass nevertheless remains accessible to any moderately trained cyclist and, the icing on the cake, it is reserved for cyclists at certain times during the summer. The view at the summit is magnificent.

The Mées

The Col d'Espinouse peaks at 838m and has two very different sides. From Bras d'Asse, more than 10 km of climbing awaits you and be careful not to be fooled by its low average percentage because this pass has many passages at more than 7%, especially towards the end with the last 700 meters at 8% and above all this slope is very exposed to the wind which often blows very strongly. On the other side from the Chaffaut road the climb is around 3-4 km shorter, is not exposed to the wind but has a steep and regular gradient (6-7% on average and passages at 11%).

This pass is 1,065 meters above sea level, on the way to Corobin Pass. From Digne-les-Bains, the 7.6 kilometer climb includes portions between 5 and 9.5%, enough to tickle your legs.

A pass located at an altitude of 1065m near the Col du Corobin in the direction of Digne-les-Bains.

The Col de Corobin from Chaudon-Norante is a climb in the Alpes de Haute Provence region. It has a length of 7.7 kilometers and an ascent of 535 vertical meters with an average gradient of 7%, which implies a difficulty level of 413. The top of the ascent is located at 1,220 meters above sea level. On the other hand, from Digne-les-Bains via Col de Pierre Basse, it is 14.6 kilometers long and climbs 650 vertical meters with an average gradient of 4.4%, which implies a difficulty level of 448.

The Col de l'Orme peaks at 734m. This pass is really simple, especially from the baths despite its 9km climb. To put it simply, this pass has an average of not even 3%. The big downside is that it's a road pass located on the RN 85 and it's very busy so don't linger too long at the top, there's not much to see...
