Fully, a tiny, historic hamlet in the vineyard-slopes above Martigny

This pic was on a Sunday morning on the way to Fully coming from Ovronnaz

. Bailed out to bring the SMT 990 through the road works.

Anyone claiming there are no breathtaking gravel rides in Central Europe.... just don't know s&^t.

Right you are! I drove parallel to the Croix de Coeur on Col du Lein, here still on the bank of the Rhone valley.

Some minutes later enjoying the view towards Col de Grand-St-Bernard. :clap:

View attachment 4620

Plenty of highly scenic gravel up there....Col du Lein has some sidekicks....Col du Tronc, Col des Planches and La Crete down to the small hamlet of Vens....then the Route de Vens twisties down into the main valley at Sembrancher (sp?)
Some extremely scenic and quiet places to stay/ wine+dine up there, too. That mountain spine is not a ski-area, development accordingly sparse.
