Col Merciere

The road to the summit, located in the Mercantour National Park, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). At the summit are some military constructions from WWII. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep.
