Route chasseur de cols
There are people who, to gain height, go to the moon; others, on the back of donkeys, climb Everest. A Vagabond prefers the 10 passes in 5 stages for more than 14,000m of elevation gain in 600km that the Route Chasseur de Cols (Mountain Pass Hunter Route) offers. Are you that Vagabond?
