Join my journey to the French Alps and conquer the passes Col Agnel and Col D’Izoard with me.

A historical mountain pass, the highest international border of the Alps - a motorcycle ride from Italy to France and back to Italy over part of the Route des Grandes Alpes across some of the most beautiful mountainous roads of the region. If you want to visit Col Agnel and Col D’Izoard like I did, here is a nice Route that connects the two mountain passes in the French Alps:
