터리어 최고의 사이클링 경로

Jesus welcomes you when you reach this summit. But he has a sense of humor. His statue stands on a rock, but you can easily reach it without a bike. Otherwise, you can test your cyclocross skills. Be mindful of the narrow, steep streets of Turriers. Cycling up is doable, but you need skill and brakes to descend. Or you can do what I did: walk a bit. But cycling up is definitely worth it!

Not the most beautiful highlight. But the drive there is definitely worth it! Especially if you're coming from the south. For campers at Le Clot du Jay: highly recommended!

Little traffic. It connects the Sasse valley to the Turriers basin. It is located at an altitude of 1,176 meters.

The length of its watercourse is 39.2 km1. The Sasse has its source in the commune of Selonnet, north of the Tête Grosse summit (2,032 m), at an altitude of 1,920 m along the Tête Grosse ski lift in the Chabanon-Selonnet ski resort. It is also called the Piche ravine in this upper part. It flows generally from east-northeast to west-southwest. It flows into the left bank of the middle Durance4 in the commune of Valernes at an altitude of 470 m below the ruins of the Bastide Blanche.

The Astoin turnstiles refer to the series of hairpin bends described by the departmental road no. 1 to cross the rocky barrier formed by the Jurassic limestones that close the Sasse basin to the north. This road replaced the mule track that winds along the other bank of the Eau Amère and which is much older: it already appears on the Cassini map in the 18th century. This road allows the Bayons valley, its forests, its mountain pastures to communicate with the Turriers basin and, via the Garcinets pass, with Seyne and the Blanche valley. This RD 1 partly succeeded the main road from Seyne to Apt (1885), itself the heir to the D 17 of 1813. It should be noted that the village of Bayons is only served by this single road which must cross the Tourniquets upstream and the Clue de Bayons downstream.

The road is not the best, but it is very quiet. At the moment there is a lot of gravel on the west side.

From Mont Colombis you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view. Kilometers 4 to 1 before the summit are pretty tough at around 13%. We hiked the last 4 kilometers.

This village has the particularity of being located on a natural hillock. In good weather, it benefits from remarkable views of the Alpine massif.
