Nice downhill towards Argentière, with deep gorges of the river Fournel on the left. The single track is not technical, so you can make a lot of speed. If you encounter pedestrians, moderate your speed.

From 1910 to 1988, L'Argentière-la-Bessée lived to the rhythm of its aluminum factory, which made this valley, once almost deserted, the largest industrial center in the Hautes-Alpes department. Beautiful photos to discover!
