More Route des Grandes Alpes

More pix from the Route des Grandes Alpes...
Beginning our ascent of the Col d'Allos, north of
St. Andy of the Alps









Ever upward, almost past even the ski-lift













The Col; not all that high actually











View from the top











The road down the other side











Nice scenery along the way







We made it; 40 km of single-lane (with occasional passing
bays), great exposure, guard-rails that seemed designed to
show where you went over rather than restrain you;
hair-pin turns we could barely make on one go; the good
news is that there are no heavy goods vehicles nor tour
busses on these roads; Vicki handled it all fairly well,
taking hundreds of fuzzy pix, later deleted...






Interesting features near the Lac du Serra-Poncton
