Gravel: crossing the Southern Alps
With Vélorizons
A great mountain gravel trip through the Southern Alps, from Briançon to Menton
The mountains of the Southern Alps have a lot to tell us! And so do the rivers that border them. Durance, Ubaye, Tinée and Vésubie, four rivers that will punctuate our journey southwards. Above our heads, the changing panoramas of the Ecrins, Haute Ubaye and Mercantour peaks create that feeling of variety so typical of itinerant travel, like so many milestones on this great crossing that is sure to be grandiose.
Small, confidential "Gravel" passes, such as the Col du Parpaillon, far removed from the traffic of their big road brothers, give us the delightful impression of being alone in the world. In the heart of the pudgy peaks of the hinterland, at the turn of a bend or a pass, the azure blue expanse of the Mediterranean is finally revealed. Calm, calm, timeless. Like the mountains, which we leave with regret. A majestic journey, without a doubt.
