~27,000m of climbing over ~1,050km. That is the number that defines the Alps Divide: a self-supported off-road traverse of the high Alps, from the mountains down to the Mediterranean at Menton.
The route
A point-to-point line across the high Alps to Menton on the French Riviera: roughly 45% high gravel and military roads, 20% mountain singletrack, and around 15% unrideable hike-a-bike over the passes, with sustained riding and pushing above 2,000m.
Early-July, Alpine traverse → Menton
Highs around 27°C and lows around 17°C, but it has dropped to 9°C. Rain on 20% of days.
