Mont Avic valley, little frequented and beautiful road.
The initial part, starting from the Fortress of Bard and on a piece of road practically suspended in the void, is very beautiful.
A few small tunnels but generally very scenic, with no particular difficulty in terms of gradients.
Ample opportunity for refreshments at the finish
Water fountains along the route
Valle del Mont Avic , poco frequentata e bella strada.
Molto bella la parte iniziale partendo dal Forte di Bard e su un pezzo di strada praticamente sospesa nel vuoto.
Qualche piccola galleria ma in generale molto panoramica, senza particolari difficoltà di pendenza.
Ampia possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo
Fontane per acqua lungo il percorso
Nice climb. First part on a road with traffic but not much. Second part on a narrower road along beautiful views and small villages and houses. The last part is about 4 km on a semi-paved path to the top. Can be done but requires some skill to steer. Perhaps not always accessible as there is also a barrier. It must be dry weather otherwise not doable and descent is also difficult to can if you go to not too fast.
Mooie beklimming. Eerste deel over een weg waar ook verkeer is maar niet veel. Tweede deel op een smallere weg langs mooie vergezichten en kleine dorpjes en huisjes. Het laaste deel ongeveer 4 km over een half verhard pad naar de top. Is te doen maar vergt wel wat stuurmanskunst. Wellicht niet altijd bereikbaar daar er ook een slagboom staat. Het moet wel droog weer zijn anders niet te doen en afdalen is ook lastig naar kan als je naar niet te snel gaat.
