From a drive in Alpi Marittime, between Italy and France.
The Col du Parpaillon is a pass in the Cottian Alps of southern France in the Parpaillon massif. The crest of the pass rises to 2,780 metres (9,120 ft). The Parpaillon Tunnel is located below the pass at an elevation of 2,637 metres (8,652 ft). It was built by the French Army starting in 1891, with work on the road and tunnel lasting until 1911, although the tunnel was completed in 1901. The arched tunnel is 520 metres (1,710 ft) in length. The curved tunnel is among the highest in Europe. Coordinate: 44°29′18″N 6°38′46″E : Col de la Bonette (el. 2,715 metres (8,907 ft)) is a high mountain pass in the French Alps, near the border with Italy. The two kilometre long teardrop shaped loop around the Cime de la Bonette peak (2860m) from either side of the pass is the highest paved through route in the Alps. Coordinate: 44°19′39″N 6°48′27″E : Colle dell`Assietta & Colle delle Finestre on the road from Sestriere to Susa : Puma 90 MY 2010 (sold 2017) Defender 110 MY 2001 http://www.youtube.com/bjartin |
