Mountain road to Barcelonette and Italy
Road follows river uphill along the valley which is very scenic with little traffic.
We are now going to cross into Italy on the D900 over the Col de Larche 6,550 feet (Italian, Colle della Maddalena). Although this is a bit higher than crossing the Col de Mongenevre 6,100 feet, it is less busy. We will enter Italy further south than planned near Cuneo and head NE towards Verona.
