View from the other side of the Col de la Pousterle, close to Puy Saint Vincent. I like to light the barbecue here or interrupt my journey for a well-deserved stop with a view.

August 29, 2022,Mountainbiketour auf den Les Tetes (2044m) im Nationalpark Les Ecrines

Very nice mountain bike tour with a great uphill on a wide gravel and car-free forest road with a pleasant incline. Downhill on flowing trails. From the summit you have a great 360% view as far as Briacon and the surrounding mountains.
