An exceptionally beautiful and enjoyable ride. Nothing very steep until the last few k. Better than average road quality. Plenty of places for food along the route. Light traffic. The ski station at the top has food.

Narrow valley through which the road winds upwards. Asco lies in the centre. There is a delicious honey ice cream right at the entrance to the village.
