The classic lineup for today. Allos, Vars, Izoard, Lautaret, Galibier. Could be worse, right?
Either way, the getaway is a total chore—leaving Marseille and hitting the highway toward Aix is packed and stressful. But before long, we find ourselves on far more enjoyable roads heading toward Digne-les-Bains, even if there's more traffic than back in May.
From that point on, it’s absolute bliss. Effortlessly, we tackle Allos—as technical and dizzying as ever—then Vars, more open and fast-paced with a insane view down over the Ubaye Valley, followed by Izoard and its incredible Casse Déserte, before dropping right back into the Briançon bottleneck.
Before that, though, we took a detour to explore a charming little dead-end valley tucked behind Cervières—an absolute gem.
Briançon was unavoidable; we had to fuel up before the grand finale. Lautaret and Galibier under the breathtaking light of a late summer afternoon. Honestly, one of the finest motorcycle and mountain experiences in recent memory. Though as for "motorcycling," I completely put that aside—we just cruised along at a snail's pace, taking in every bit of the scenery.
Apart from a scraping footpeg, who would've noticed the difference?
