September 22, 2023,Guillestre <> Col d'Izoard

Icy cold, forced to stop for 5 minutes under a bus shelter to try to stop shaking...
But otherwise the peaks of Mercantour covered in snow in the distance, simply extraordinary!

August 22, 2021,Col de l'Izoard - depuis Guillestre

Just after Guillestre, at the entrance to the Gorges du Guil, follow the sign 'obligatory cyclist direction', and turn right on the route de la Viste: this avoids the road and the narrow tunnels (at the cost of a short climb).

Beautiful views on the road and the gorges below.
