July 27, 2024,Tour nel parco del Queyras

Tour with excellent cycling, both uphill and downhill.
The tour passes through three hills: col de prés de Fromage, col de Fromage, col de Estronques. And with another 100 m. of altitude you reach a peak Tête de Jacquette 2757m. The landscape along the entire route is very beautiful😍😜
