Hiking

A cross marks this pass, located at an altitude of 2,438 meters, at the foot of Mount Thabor. The Col de la Vallée Étroite was part of the Maginot Line between 1928 and 1940. These days, you don't see many soldiers, but a good number of mountain enthusiasts!

Hiking

A plateau characterized by a cross that also indicates the French region in which it is located and the altitude, there is an almost dried up pond and is a crossroads of different destinations

Mountain biking

Also known as the Col de la Vallée-Étroite. We've already ridden the pass twice on our tours to the Mediterranean. While the climb from Modane is scenically charming, I only recommend the descent at the beginning. The "technical section" is the opposite of a highlight for me.
