Cayolle Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Cayolle is a little known pass. Its name is not very familiar, yet it culminates at more than 2,324 meters above sea level and offers a remarkable panorama and very quiet roads.

Short rest on the way to Col Cayol. Again "refuel" for the next climb to the pass. A wonderful spot right on the barely traveled road. Very nice!

July 21, 2021,Trois Cols: d'Allos | des Champs | de la Cayolle ⛰ ⛰⛰

Wow, pretty nice here in the Ubaye Valley! A paradise for racing cyclists and for everyone who loves mountains! The descent from the Col des Champs was awesome. An incredibly beautiful panorama and hardly any traffic! 😍

The nicest tour in France so far. I almost had Col da la Cayolle and Col des Champs to myself.

August 19, 2021,3 col loop that will have you begging for new legs

This loop delivers on every level if you love your mountain cols. Scenery, hairpins, not too much traffic, marmottes and tonnes of character. You certainly don't need to add in the Pra Loup climb that's just where we were staying. And on a hot summers day look out for swimming spots on the descent from the Cayolle, it'll seriously revive …

August 20, 2023,#36 🇨🇵 Col d'Allos, Col des Champs und Col de la Cayolle - Traumrunde ☀️

Actually everything is said in the headline. Three super nice passes beyond the 2000 mark!
1) The Col d'Allos is reserved for cyclists every Friday in July and August from 8-11, but if you start on Sundays at 7:30 a.m., the bit of traffic doesn't bother you. The pass becomes more and more beautiful at the top - a characteristic …

August 3, 2023,Au coeur du Mercantour

My two 16-year-old companions put it in a nutshell: "Best day ever". Finally arrived in the less touristy Mercantour, a round with 3 passes was on the program:
Col de la Cayolle, Col des Champs, Col de Allos. The first two with very little traffic, all 3 terrific. Incredible prospects make you forget the effort.

August 8, 2025,2025.08.08 Wherever It Takes Me. Day 7: Col des Champs & Col de la Cayolle & Le Super Sauze Ride 💚💛🚵‍♀️💛💚

I'm left breathless after this ride. Not because of being tired (it's quite the opposite, I feel energised and powerful!!), but because of awe and astonishment 🤩💯
I loved Col de la Cayolle two years ago and still do, but in combination with Col des Champs, one by another, I was confronted with a loading of beauty hard to bear …
