Alternative:
Direct descent to Tende from the Baisse d'Ourne via the very long military track known as the Spegi, which offers some 1,200 m of negative vertical drop (b. 353, 344, 343, 342, 65).
While the upper part is paved with old pavement and requires good steering skills, the lower part after the stage lodge is on asphalt.
