A narrow, hairpin southern-Alps col above Barcelonnette.
The D908 over the Col d'Allos at 2,247 m links Barcelonnette and the Verdon, a narrow, twisting Route des Grandes Alpes col with little protection and big views over the southern Alps. Demanding and exposed; mind the unguarded edges, the tight bends, and snow outside summer.
