The 7 passes

7Results

Col des Fillys

04 92 81 04 71

Picturesque road that allows you to go from La Bréole to Selonnet, directly via Villaudemard and L'Egaye. The road D7 goes through the pass.
You have to stop at the pass to contemplate the landscape and enjoy the freshness of the beeches.

La Bréole

Ubaye Serre-Ponçon
Col d'Allos

04 92 81 04 71

On the trail of great champions.
Pedal on an exceptional route that links the Ubaye Valley to the Verdon, a famous pass regularly used by Tour de France riders: the Col d'Allos.

Uvernet-Fours
Col de Pontis

04 92 81 04 71

A well-deserved view awaits you at this mountain pass!
From the top of its 1,301 m, it is the smallest of the 7 passes but not the easiest for all that! It goes up from the old village of Ubaye, and the terrain is not the easiest.

Le Lauzet-Ubaye
Montée de Sainte-Anne

04 92 81 04 71

A fantastic view awaits you at the top!
The climb to Sainte-Anne has replaced the Col de Larche, which is currently closed to cyclists. It is ideal for warming up before you launch on the other passes of the Ubaye Valley.

Sainte-Anne
Col de la Cayolle

04 92 81 04 71

Nature is king in the Ubaye Valley.
Head off on an adventure on one of France's most stunning passes: the Col de la Cayolle. From the top of its 2,326 m, its ascent is ranked among the 30 most beautiful climbs in Europe by "Le Cycle" magazine.

Uvernet-Fours
Col de Vars

04 92 81 04 71

It climbs right to the top.
Head for the Col de Vars for a memorable climb by bike in the Alps. At over 2,108 m in altitude and with over 1,000 m of difference in height, this circuit will give you a hard time, we admit.

Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye
Col de la Bonette

04 92 81 04 71

Pedal on France's highest paved road.
Reaching by bike the top of the Col de la Bonette at 2,802 m altitude is a challenge of 32 km, but it is worth it!
