Stone Bridge

From this bridge, you have an absolutely incredible view overlooking the Valserine gorges. If you are prone to vertigo, do not go near the edge.

Relatively flat ascent from Mijoux/Lelex on narrow, quiet, but well-paved roads with magnificent views of the Valserine valley. Steeper and curvy to/from Confort/Bellegarde.
