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...
