As always the valleys between the big climbs are beautiful and a nice juxtaposition.

In the high mountains there are roads that lead into remote valleys,  places that in the winter are snowed in and inaccessible.

This is one of those special places where you stand at the border between two countries, France and Italy, the Col Agnel. Looking westward and down the French side of the mountain pass.
