Belle alternative à ce vol mythique. La difficulté entre les deux tracés est similaire mais il y a bien moins de fréquentation sur ce tracé. Les paysages sont plus beaux ici pour moi.

Spectacular mountain pass. There is a lot of traffic of cars and cyclists. Incredible scenery and a bar at the top of the pass where you can have a bite to eat or a coffee. A mythical French pass.
