Day 3 - Ancelle to Haut Correo
This is a fabulous leg taking you from the Champsaur valley with it's spectacular high mountain backdrop and pretty alpine villages, like Ancelle to the Gapencais valley in the low Alps with wild, tree covered mountains, meadows and a view of the sunniest city in France, Gap.
For technical riders, this is a challenging ascent up to the col de Moissiere where you will be rewarded with spectacular views over the Durance valley. After that there is a fantastic traverse to the col de Manse with panoramic views all the way along on a mixture of single track and canal paths to Rabou.
For really sporty mountain bikers, there is a fantastic variant up to the col de Gleize with a great single track descent into Rabou.
The easy route starts with a quiet road and then a path to get to the col de Manse where, if you were in a mixed group, you could meet up with the sporty riders and ride together with panoramic views and plenty of photo and picnic opportunities to share along the way. The route then descends to Rabou.
