🏔️ 1 day, 100 km, 2,900 meters of elevation gain – our ultimate test on the Ligurian border ridge road (Alta Via del Sale). 🚴‍♂️ Join us on a spectacular gravel adventure in the border region between Italy and France. We wanted to find out: Is the legendary "Salt Road" really doable with a gravel bike? We rode along old military roads, climbing to over 2,200 meters. Past snowfields, through rough gravel sections, and "above the clouds." A day full of highs and lows, from aching wrists to the breathtaking final climb in France.
