Ruta del Sale…
1. From the Tende Pass, the switchbacks of the southern side are impressive !
2. We decide to borrow part of the Ruta del Sale which connects various ruins of military forts.
3. It’s well inhabited by many marmots almost ready for their next hibernation.
4. She looks like a ranger, isn’t she? 😉
5. VivaLaVida follows ridges…
6. … with new landscapes at every turn.
7. Clouds are close.
8. Nice bridge on our trail…
9. … which spans a torrent having dug the rock.
10. VLV makes a short stop.
11. Lunch break in a pretty clearing in the larches…
12. … and some play for Emile.
In the next update, we will show you Tende, a pretty village perched on the slopes of a deep valley.

Une route du sel ..qui n’en manque pas!!!
Un plus pour ce ciel menaçant.
Merci Philippe. Si tu veux la rider, il faudra prévoir un VTT mais ça doit être top !
NICE SHARE ! Having your family in this series of Euro-Trails has added such a rich fresh dimension to our tag-along with you Claude. My extended thanks to your family for allowing us this over the shoulder look !!
I’d like to ask if you’d please share what gear you typically brought along within you swing away box .. I’ve just mounted mine,same size. Im considering .. flares,flashlight,gloves,pull strap,hatchet for fire wood cutting,short but effective limb saw-Japanese blade,my 4 gallon composite propane tank.. with hard line to interior two burner propane stove . As is the stove is fueled by same canister located inside Tug (camper name) . I feel it’s safe, but family advises otherwise .. so will oblige to move outdoors. Of course the rear box will be bottom vented . Please share what manner of clip or such your tools,i.e.-shovel,etc. are attached to box side . Big thanks ! Canyon
Well, nothing really special. In her rear box, VLV carries a 28” ax and a hand saw (also 28”). I also carry there fire wood and a grill to coke on campfire. Hi-lift jack and showel are on the side of the box. Also have a 4 ton bottle jack to easily change a wheel. In the basket on the top of the rear box, I always have square treated wood blocks, very usefull to level or prop VLV when needed.
Since it’s quite heavy, recovery gears are stored in VLV’s underfloor box, right in front of rear doors: a 30 feet 10 ton extension strap, a 15 feet 10 ton strap, a tree trump protector strap, a snatchblock, three shackles and glowes. In driver door, I carry another pair of glows and a secator, very handy to cut small tree branches to make room for VLV.
About tools, I have a tool bag stored behin driver seat with every essential hand tools: wrenches set, screwdrivers, pliers, hamer, saw, etc., a socket wrench set with imperial and metric, a small vice I can install on front or rear bumper, a tire repair kit, a cordless driller, and that’s about it.
Sympa les lacets !!! C’est praticable avec n’importe quelle auto ?
En principe oui si la garde au sol n’est pas trop basse. C’est de la piste mais sans trop de gros cailloux. Par contre, quand nous y étions, cette portion de route était fermée car un gros bloc s’était décroché d’une paroi et obstruait la route 300 mètres sous le col…
Ah ouais quand même… pas de l’asphalte donc… bon faudrait faire le parcours avec une GS1200 😉
Ces pistes sont très fréquentées par toutes sortes de gros trails mais peu de véhicules à 4 roues…
