This long ridge climb rolls out of La Tour before settling into a steady effort. The road winds up open hillsides through a run of hairpins, slowly gaining height as views open toward the Mercantour.

The rhythm stays consistent and rewards steady pacing. It feels remote and mountainous well before the final crest, making it a solid endurance climb from valley to high pass.
