If there were a ranking of the most beautiful, undiscovered Alpine passes in the cycling world, the Moutière would certainly be a contender. Starting from Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, the climb through the valleys of Sestrière and Sagnas is simply sublime.

Gorgeous pass with very little traffic and perfect asphalt.

A long climb but never too difficult, the views are stunning.

Nice and quiet, good road

By the side from Colmars, it offers an 11.5 km climb with an average gradient of 7.2% rather regular, except for the very end on the flat. Culminating at an altitude of 2,087 m, it marks the passage between the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes, linking the valleys of Verdon and Var. As its name seems to indicate, it is a pass little used by cars which takes the time to walk in a territory that is still wild. It begins with hairpin bends winding through a forest of larches and pines, and opening in places onto clearings that are sometimes cultivated. At the exit of the forest massif, it then crosses magnificent high mountain landscapes which are somewhat reminiscent of the Dolomites. A very nice collar, a must.
