Coming from La Motte-du-Caire, it's only a short climb, which makes the long, beautiful descent on smooth asphalt all the more surprising.

The Sasse

Highlight • River

Thanks to this little-used departmental road, you can follow this torrent in complete peace of mind. It takes its source at Lorsnet and flows into the Durance. The views in autumn are magnificent. As is the whole area.
