5th big climb in five days as our Southern Alps adventure continues.  This may be the most scenic Col we have ever ridden. Starting from Barcelonnette in the South Alps this little sinuous road climbs along side a cliff high above a steep canyon and then hairpins over the mountain towards the mediterranean 100kms away. 

19.5 kms and 1,260 metres vertical. 

We were on that little cliff road below.
