Rochemolles is just the start of the ascent to the Sommeiller mule pass, at around 3000 m. I did it on a mountain bike, which would have been useful for the last part. The road is closed to motor vehicles one or two days a week after the Scarfiotti refuge: you're on your own in the face of the mountain.... read more

Rochemolles is just the start of the ascent to the Sommeiller mule pass, at around 3000 m. I did it on a mountain bike, which would have been useful for the last part. The road is closed to motor vehicles one or two days a week after the Scarfiotti refuge: you're on your own in the face of the mountain.

Rochemolles ne constitue que le début de la montée au col muletier du Sommeiller, qui avoisine 3000 m. Je l'ai fait en VTC, le VTT aurait été utile sur la dernière partie. La route est fermée aux véhicules à moteurs après le refuge scarfiotti un ou deux jours par semaine : vous êtes seuls face à la montagne.

Steep ascent, in the sense that it alternates between tears and almost false-floors. For those who have MTBs after the finish you could continue to the limit...

Salita a gradoni, nel senso che alterna strappi e quasi falsopiani. Per chi ha la MTB dopo l'arrivo si potrebbe proseguire a oltranza...
