Cime de la Bonette 2,802m

Northern ramp to Col de la Bonette/Restefond with following "Circuit et la Cime de la Bonette" runs from Jausiers comparatively moderate always below 10% grade and is scenically very pleasant. The loop around the summit named "Cime de la Bonette" leads to an official altitude of 2,802m. Even if the French call it "Plus haute route d'Europe", the Ötztal Glacier Road and also the Pico del Veleta are definitely higher roads. The only creatures on the whole distance: Suddenly appearing marmots and French mountain infantry alongside the road, banging with their machine guns (great high alpine resonance!).

Start: Jausiers 1,220m
Altitude difference: 1,537m
Distance to summit: 23km
