Picked up a short alternative shortcut to France's highest and most beautiful village on the descent of Col Agnel.
Turn left just before the road narrows to enter Pierre Grosse.
Start with a short descent to climb steeply after crossing the mountain river on a narrow road. Followed by 2 very steep hairpin bends through the forest. After Chalet des Amoureux (food & drink) and small ski infrastructure, the route flattens out on panoramic open plateau with a lone cross. You enter car-free St Veran past one of the car parks. Definitely cycle down the authentic main street to the highest point (2040m) near the church.
There are places to eat & drink, some water sources and artisan shops.
There is no traffic on the entire route, but the last part of the route is a bit less smooth.
Descend back down along another wide asphalt road to get back on the Col Agnel route in Moulines and Queyras.
Korte alternatieve binnenweg naar hoogste en mooiste dorp van Frankrijk meegepikt bij afdaling van de Col Agnel.
Links afdraaien vlak voor wegversmalling om Pierre Grosse binnen te fietsen.
Start met korte afdaling om na het over fietsen van de bergrivier op smalle weg stevig bergop te gaan. Gevolgd door 2 zeer steile haarspeldbochten door het woud. Na Chalet des Amoureux (eten & drinken) en kleine ski infrastructuur vlakt de route uit op panoramisch open plateau met een eenzaam kruis. Je komt het autovrij St. Veran binnen langs één van de parkings. Zeker de authentieke hoofdstraat doorfietsen tot het hoogste punt (2040m) in de buurt van de kerk.
Er is eet & drinkgelegenheid, enkele waterbronnen en artisanale winkeltjes.
Geen verkeer op ganse route, laatste deel is wegdek wat minder .
Terug afdalen kan eventueel langs andere brede asfaltweg om in Moulines en Queyras terug op de Col Agnel route te komen.
Very nice to do on the way back from Col Agnel and visit charming village of St Veran and have something to eat or drink.
Erg leuk om te doen op de terugweg van Col Agnel en charmante dorpje St Veran te bezoeken en wat te eten of drinken.
This is a totally unknown and quite difficult climb to find. But do not miss it. It is quiet, you drive through nature (almost no cars) and you will encounter some steep walls. Afterwards you arrive in the beautiful village of Saint Veran and you can drive back via a good wide and safe road...
Dit is een totaal onbekende en best lastig te vinden beklimming. Maar mis hem niet. Het is rustig, je rijdt door de natuur (bijna geen auto's) en je komt een paar flink steile muren tegen. Om daarna in het mooie dorpje van Saint Veran uit te komen en via een goede brede en veilige weg terug te kunnen rijden...
