Col de La Bonette in your pocket

Driving on the highest road in Europe; in the same morning, going from nearly 3000 meters above sea level, where the snow only disappears completely for a few weeks a year, to the Promenade des Anglais, feet in the sea. Cross a kingdom of mountain pastures inhabited by marmots, bearded vultures, ibexes or chamois.
Stop and leave your vehicle for a few hours to explore a wild valley, a pass or a summit, in the heart of the Mercantour National Park.
That's a part of what this high road has to offer its visitors. In pictures, let's discover some aspects of this particular high mountain territory, linking the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence to the Alpes-Maritimes.
