An ascent of modest difficulty that leads to the small village where Pope John Paul II loved to spend holiday periods.

Salita dalla difficoltà modesta che conduce al piccolo borgo dove Papa Giovanni Paolo II amava trascorrere periodi di villeggiatura.
Pur non raggiungendo altitudini particolarmente degne di nota, l'ambiente che si attraversa è come lo si desidera, tipicamente alpino e caratterizzato da maestose abetaie e da viste sulla bassa Valgrisenche; il paesino di Les Combes è una piccola chicca che merita una visita.
Il colle, non essendo troppo difficile, può essere inserito,come piacevola alternativa alla Statale 26, in itinerari verso le valli del Gran Paradiso o la Valgrisenche.
