As the 5th EAR in the Dolomites wasn't as we expected, Tom and I decided to head out to the other side of Italy: the area with the French border.

For me this was an already know region, as I had been riding there late August 2008.  It is an area with wellknown and documented tracks.

In 3 days we managed to do tracks like: Ligurische bergkamstrasse, Parpaillon and the Assietta.  Especially the Parpaillon was absolutely beautiful, with as climax a dark cold tunnel at 2700m high including big stones, lots of water and even snow and ice.
