Col de Bleine I think this
is one of the nicer passes in this area of
many nice small to medium sized passes. It
is reasonable to think of the Clue de
Greolieres as part of the southern approach
and the Clue Auban as the lowest part of the
western approach. These two gorges may well
be considered the most scenic part of a ride
over the pass. But you can also ride loops
through these canyons without going over the
pass. The Clue
der Greolieres shoulder summit has its
own page. The pictures on this page were
taken on approaches close to Col de Bleine
summit, located beween points 4 and 6.
 Approaches From North. The
description starts at point 3. The
Clue de Greolieres climbs above the town of
the same name, passing 3 tunnels, including
one that looks like a natural double arch. It
crests on a forested plateau. The intersection
with Col de Bleine and Col
Castellaras is signed as part of the
"bucles d'Azure" bicycle route. Col de Bleine
itself is forested on top. But there is a
really good view reaching to the "Mercantour
Park" part of the alps just north of the
summit.
