올로몬트 최고의 라이딩 경로

Passing under the imposing covered viaduct that leads to the tunnel marks the beginning of the toughest part of the climb: the gradients become more demanding (though never prohibitive), the fatigue accumulated over the previous 20 km takes its toll, and the winds from Switzerland begin to lash you... you're officially in the high mountains, after all, that's why you came here. If the day is one of the worst, with strong winds from the pass, these last 10 km will be a nightmare, but the beauty and majesty of the landscape will more than make up for even the most intense of efforts.

The highest road pass in the Aosta Valley and a place that has always fascinated the writer for its thousand-year history, the austere Mauritian hospice and the profound beauty of the landscape.

이 오르막은 정말 놀랍습니다. 가파르지는 않지만 길고, 아주 길고, 끝이 없습니다. 페달을 밟은 지 한 시간이 넘었는데도 정상은 보이지 않고, 에너지는 거의 다 떨어졌고, 바람은 계속 얼굴을 때립니다. 자전거를 던져버리고 "그만! 여기서 멈출 거야..."라고 외치고 싶을 정도입니다. 하지만 이건 잠시뿐입니다. 당신이 이 도전을 선택했고 무엇을 하러 가는지 아주 잘 알고 있었기 때문입니다. 이전보다 더 강한 의지로 다시 출발하고, 남은 모든 힘을 다해 마지막 몇 킬로미터를 달려 나갑니다. 그리고 터널에 들어서면, 해냈다는 것을 깨닫기 시작합니다. 터널을 나와 약간 왼쪽으로 꺾이는 길을 따라가면, 꿈처럼 호수가 나타납니다. 정상에 도착하면, 수세기 동안 이 길을 걸었던 수많은 사람들을 생각하게 됩니다. 살라시족, 로마인, 수도사, 이주민, 나폴레옹 군인들... 당신은 역사가 깊고 자연이 아름다운 곳에 있다는 것을 깨닫게 되고, 이 언덕을 사랑하지 않을 수 없습니다.

You can also stay for just a few hours: the hour costs 50 cents (as of 2025).

Hotel Italia is highly recommended

Have already driven a little!!!

An intense and very impressive climb. Over 11km you have to overcome around 850 meters in altitude. The roads are narrow and winding. There is little traffic. The splendor of colors in the larch forests is particularly impressive in autumn. Not an easy but highly recommended alternative to the main road in the valley.

The regional capital is located in the middle of the valley of the same name. The city still has the layout of the old Roman castrum, and in the car-free centre several monuments recall the Roman period. Aosta was a lively religious centre in the Middle Ages. St. Anselm, the later Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1109, was born here. Today Aosta is a busy tourist hub at the crossroads of the roads to the Great St. Bernard Pass and Switzerland.
