The Pas de Bonnet culminates at an altitude of 886 meters. From Digne-les-Bains, the longest slope awaits you with 7 kilometers of climbing.

The first part, up to the village of Champtercier, is the most complicated even if the slope does not exceed an average of 5.5%. You will still be entitled to a small section of 100 meters just before Champtercier at almost 10%, which is an injection. The second part is simpler and more regular, the slope barely exceeding 6%.

Digne-les-Bains, as its name suggests, is a spa town. Its thermal baths specialize in rheumatology and the respiratory tract. Its health resort is located about three kilometers from the town on the right bank of the "Les Eaux Chaudes" torrent.

The city is located between this torrent and the valley formed by the river Bléone.

There is a quite incredible tourist railway line (Le train des Pignes) that connects Digne to Nice and offers some unique viewpoints. Digne is also its famous slab with ammonites and its many geological treasures that attract enthusiasts. It is a really pleasant city, surrounded by remarkable nature.
