The Col de Montgenèvre connects Briançon, France, to Cesana Torinese, Italy. The pass, at 1,850 meters, is located entirely in France. The Montgenèvre pass is a historic pass: for the Romans it was the easiest road to go from Piedmont to the Durance valley.

Col de Montgenèvre - Briançon - Izoard
All by road today. Much less bucolic than yesterday but the Col de l'Izoard is still majestic. Not crazy on paper, but a nice drool on the ground, especially loaded and under the dodger 🥵
