생테티엔 드 티네‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

The ring road around the mountain comes into view once more at the end. Steep sections lead to the highest point, the Cime de la Bonette. Accessible in one direction only!

abandoned building without water

Beautiful pass at 2400m altitude. You go from a sunny and very green environment to a shady side, more rocky and that may still have residual snow (in my case at the beginning of June there was enough to block the passage). Spectacular stretch of path on the balcony on the west side.

I recommend the ring climb from the Tesina pass, with the saboulet, etc., as mentioned it's always windy

Intriguing ghost town which actually includes the barracks of a former military camp

Going up the Col de la Bonette on its southern side, just over 7 km from the top of the pass, and once you have passed the most spectacular section with several hairpin bends, you reach this ghost town. It is a military complex built in 1888 and used as an army operations barracks during World Wars I and II. It is very well preserved thanks to the reconstruction work carried out in 2016 and 2018. It is worth stopping to take a look.

There's always a "storm" coming

Col de la Bonette (2715 meters above sea level) is a mountain pass in the French Alps, near the border with Italy. It is located in the Mercantour National Park on the border of the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The road over the col is the seventh highest paved road in the Alps.
