The Via del Sale, also known as Route du Marguareis, is a track built in the Middle Ages to transport salt from Ventimiglia to Limone Piemonte and from there to Turin. As a result, the road has been enlarged and many sections were magnified and transformed into military roads to connect the numerous forts located along the border between Italy and France. Today, it is a wonderful dirt road, which runs along the ridges of the Maritime Alps on the border between Italy and France, in a wild landscape and stunning views of the sea and the mountains. Riding the road and the connecting tracks takes the best part of a day, and there are a couple of chalet type cafes to take a break at along the way.
