Casse Desrte pesaggio lunar

Casse Desérte pesaggio lunare

Chi non conosce tra i ciclisti questo meraviglioso ed incredibile paesaggio, come si narra, un pezzo di luna trasportato nelle alpi. Ci troviamo nel dipartimento francese delle Alte Alpi e più precisamente nell'area meridiaonale conosciuta come la Casse Déserte. Abbiamo percorso in bicicletta questa memorabile salita, si passa dalle verdeggiante piana di Arvieux per arrivare ad un panorama fatto di colate di ghiaione e picchi di rocce di color arancio erosi da venti e gelo. Il bianco contrasta con il cielo terso e una luce quasi accecante in una giornata ancora troppo fredda.
Who is not familiar with cyclists this wonderful and incredible landscape, as it is said, a piece of the moon transported in the alps. We are located in the French department of the Hautes-Alpes and more precisely in the area known as the Speaker meridiaonale Déserte. We have traveled by bicycle this memorable climb, you will pass by the verdant plain of Arvieux to reach a panorama made of lava scree and rocky peaks of orange eroded by winds and frost. The white contrasts with the clear sky and a light almost blinding in a day is still too cold.

Géologie

Lorsqu'on grimpe le col de l'Isoard en venant du Queyras, on passe par un seuil qui se nomme Casse Déserte. La célébrité du Tour de France cède alors la place à spectacle géologique de premier plan. L'érosion a sculpté le paysage de formes originales, et pour peu que le soleil se permette des jeux de lumière, la féerie est bien présente. Un des beaux sites des Alpes françaises, célèbre à juste titre.
When climbing the neck of the Isoard coming Queyras, one goes through a threshold that is called Deserted Casse. The celebrity of the Tour de France then gives way to leading geological spectacle. Erosion has carved the landscape of original forms, and as long as the sun allows the play of light, the magic is there. One of the beautiful sights of the French Alps, justly famous.
