A very beautiful pass on a picturesque road that is quieter than the road from Confort. There are also better views of the Valserine valley and the Reculet/Crêt de la Neige (1720 m) (see photo taken about 2 km from the summit).

Très beau col sur une route pittoresque plus calme que celle qui vient de Confort. La vue est également plus belle avec la vallée de la Valserine et la vue sur le Reculet/Crêt de la Neige (1720 m) (voir photo prise à environ 2 km du sommet.
