Col d'Izoard

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col d'Izoard is a climb that connects Briançon with the Guille valley. On both sides to climb on smooth asphalt. The south side is known as the most difficult, because certainly the last 10 kilometers are very steep.

The Gorges du Guil

Highlight • Other

The Guil gorges are one of the natural gateways to the Queyras national park. The torrential river has carved exceptional gorges out of the rock. This canyon, on numerous occasions, has served as a scene for filming films. Nature is felt here in its raw state.

July 16, 2022,Col d'Iozard- "Dagegen war Alpe d'Huez ein Spaziergang"
