At the break of dawn, Alessandro and I kicked off our Sunday ride from Bardonecchia, aiming for the charm of Névache. The morning air was brisk, a perfect companion for our adventure as we opted for the lesser-known alpine route.
Our first stop was a serene lake, offering a moment of tranquility before we tackled the climb to Aguille Rouge. Despite the rugged path, the panoramic views were nothing short of spectacular, with towering peaks and sprawling valleys stretching as far as the eye could see.
The descent back to Bardonecchia was a thrilling ride. We raced down the mountainside, the wind whipping past us, each twist and turn a rush of excitement and shared laughter. By the time we rolled into Camp Smith, we were exhilarated, with stories of an unforgettable ride that took us from Bardonecchia to Névache and back again, proving that the adventurous route is always worth it.
