like pingvin i dont know it, but want to go there, the mountains in the back remind me of Austria, near Ali's pension in the Dachstein area.

Mountains in the back are Italian. And with this I'm not saying that this pic is made in Italy :mrgreen:

Nope, completely the other side of the Alps. Besides, Mt. Cenis is a large two lane road, this is a narrow one lane road :wink:

Seems like I've got a difficult one, didn't expect it.

And we have a winner, it's up to you Michael =D>

By the way, do try to include the Mangart in your trip if you're anywhere close enough, it's one of the most amazing roads I've ever done :!:

Rode right by this opportunity in 2010 when I got as far east as I've ever ridden in the alps :roll: I'd never heard of it until your post.

Just been doing some research on Google Earth and it looks like there's some spectacular views to be had from the loop around the top of Mangart.

Looks like I'll be heading back there to check it out myself! 8)

For other dummies like me; it's a dead-end road just off the Predil pass (Slovenia/Italy)
