Thanks for the pics. Did you manage to explore much on foot or was it mainly a driving hol?

2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Commercial Manual Buckingham Blue

If it's the same place I'm thinking it is, the road is dubbed the "Ligurian Ridge Road". The french end is at the fortifications at the to of the old Col de Tende. From there, it straddles the French/Italian border for around 80km or so of gravel. I believe the Italian end is somwhere near Triora.

It is very popular with adventure bikers. Dennis

Just driving holiday, not walking. Got stuck in one snowdrift, managed to drive through another joined by towrope in case of slipping sideways off the edge. Had to reverse over 1 kilometre from another that was impassable - another driver had abandoned a vehicle and walked to the next refuge rather than try a long tricky reverse.

Depends which patch you mean. At one stage we had to reverse about 1k, then struggling to find a refuge for the night.
I've put the vid together now, it's at
Alternatively just look on YouTube for DavidSally1. Hope you enjoy it.
