A ride to the highest paved mountain pass in the alps, Col De l’Iseran, and some of my favorite roads like Petit Saint Bernard and Grand Saint Bernard. A roadtrip partly on the Route des Grandes Alpes, from Italy, to France, back to Italy and Switzerland - in one day.
Across several mountain passes, behind thousands of meters high rocks, there is a very special place: There is home.
