도라 발테아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 산길

A challenging and relentless climb, like a good military road, it climbs with very regular gradients that allow, once you find your rhythm, to easily reach the summit. Be careful, in summer, of traffic (use extreme caution on both sides when descending) and the southern exposure, which makes it very hot in the afternoon.

A demanding climb for trained cyclists. 10 km, 1000 m elevation gain. Also known as Col d'Arpy.

Several websites advertise the Licony Pass as a tricky, even dangerous, route to Pascal's bivouac. Is this true? Thank you!

Long climb but very rideable

The climb to the Great St. Bernard Pass (2469 m) from Aosta follows the historic State Road 27 via Gignod. It is a very long climb, about 33 km, which exceeds almost 1900 meters of altitude difference. The gradient is generally constant, with an average of around 5.7%, making it challenging especially for the length and altitude reached. The pass is located on the border with Switzerland.

Hill reachable with a beautiful mule track starting from the Pesse hamlet, or from the other side arriving from La Cou

Nice view from the pass!

A very long panoramic ride.....
