2407 metres above sea level?
That's nothing!
Top of the Col de la Bonnette, 2808 metres, September 2012. French Alps. Apparently you can't get any higher than that on tarmac anywhere in Europe (although I believe there's closed to the public track up some mountain in the Sierra Nevada somewhere in Spain that will get you just a bit higher, but it's cheating). A long, long climb from St Etienne de Tinée (Med side). Even more "interesting" is the descent to Jausiers...
