hardAn epic paved road to Vallon du Melezet in the Alps
🇫🇷 France
# Vallon du Mélézet: A High Alpine Adventure Tucked away in the Hautes-Alpes department of southeastern France, Vallon du Mélézet is a stunning high mountain pass sitting pretty at 1,821 meters (5,974 feet) above sea level in the heart of the French Alps. The journey up is via the D60, a well-maintained paved road that'll keep you confident on most sections—though fair warning: it gets genuinely steep in places, with grades hitting 13.3%. The real showstopper? Les 12 lacets de Ceillac, a legendary series of 12 hairpin turns that'll keep your hands busy and your adrenaline pumping. At the summit, you'll find Refuge de la Cime, a cozy mountain refuge perfect for a break or a bite. Starting from Le Pont de Pierre où Maison du Roi, you're looking at an 11.5-kilometer (7.14-mile) climb with 770 meters of elevation gain. The average gradient works out to around 6.69%, so it's manageable but definitely not a casual cruise. Here's the best part: this pass is open year-round, though winter weather can occasionally force temporary closures when conditions get gnarly. Pick your timing right, and you've got yourself one of the Alps' most rewarding drives.
hardWhere is Lac d'Allos?
🇫🇷 France
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, heading toward Lac d'Allos, tucked away in the Mercantour National Park. This isn't just any lake; it's the biggest natural high-altitude lake in Europe, fed by snowmelt and autumn rain! The road from Allos is about 7 miles of pure bliss...and a bit of a climb! It's a steady uphill trek, but don't let that scare you off; some parts get seriously steep. You'll end up at a parking area where cars are no longer allowed. From there, it's a walk to the lake itself, passing the Refuge du lac d'Allos and the Chapelle Notre-Dame des Monts du Lac d'Allos. A heads up: this beauty is only accessible during the warmer months. The road is usually closed from October to June. And during peak season (late June, early September, and July-August), be prepared for some restrictions. But trust me, the views of the lake nestled in those high, steep mountains are worth the effort!
