From Ancelle, the Col de Moissiere is a must in this valley, taking you up to the Plateau de Costebelle and back down the other side towards Gap and/or Embrun via the Forêt du Sapet. Also the venue for a special stage in the Monte Carlo rally, this climb is fun to do and less difficult than it looks when you're at the foot of it.... read more

From Ancelle, the Col de Moissiere is a must in this valley, taking you up to the Plateau de Costebelle and back down the other side towards Gap and/or Embrun via the Forêt du Sapet. Also the venue for a special stage in the Monte Carlo rally, this climb is fun to do and less difficult than it looks when you're at the foot of it.

A partir d’Ancelle, le col de moissiere est un incontournable dans cette vallée qui permet de monter sur le plateau de Costebelle et de redescendre sur l’autre versant en direction de gap et/ou embrun par la forêt du sapet. Théâtre aussi d’une spéciale du rallye monte carlo, cette montée est sympathique à faire et moins difficile qu’il en paraît lorsqu’on est à son pied.
