Bergerie des Baïsses

Highlight • Other

I crossed the river near the house and turned left along the river into the valley.
Please don't do that. After a 5km descent, a section of the path is missing, and you have to climb very steeply up the mountain and slide down the other side on your backside with your bike. A bit dangerous. Unfortunately, the sign indicating that this is a dead end is only halfway down. Since I didn't want to go back up, the detour was a bit adventurous and dangerous.

June 19, 2025,🇫🇷3 Gipfel-Tour über den „Sentier de la Fanfare“ von Montgenèvre

Today's tour was quite demanding, especially given the heat. From the first summit, it was a ridge walk with indescribable views overlooking the French 🇫🇷 and Italian 🇮🇹 valleys.
