Scenic hairpin bends

Last steep kilometres of the climb from the French side, amazing views on the stone structures and the valley opening up, strong winds which can make the climbing tough!

Colle dell'Agnello - Col Agnel

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Agnel Pass is located on the border between France and Italy. At 2,744 meters, it is one of the highest passes in France. From Guillestre, the climb is 42 kilometers long with an average gradient of 4.13%. However, from Château-Ville-Vieille, the climb is 21 kilometers with an average gradient of 6.6%. The last section is particularly difficult as the air becomes thinner.

Col Agnel Border Monument

Highlight • Monument

Colle dell'Agnello (2,744 meters above sea level - Col Agnel in French; Còl dl'Agnél in Piedmontese) is an Alpine pass in the Cottian Alps (Monviso Alps), as well as the second-highest road pass in Italy and the third-highest in Europe [N 2], preceded only by the Colle dell'Iseran [N 3] in the French Alps and the Stelvio Pass in the Ortler Alps.

Located southwest of Monviso, between Pan di Zucchero and Punta dell'Alp, it connects Italy to France from the Piedmontese municipality of Pontechianale to the French municipality of Molines-en-Queyras in the Hautes-Alpes department [N 4]. It was inaugurated in 1973 by expanding a pre-existing dirt military road; It has been a transit point for several stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France and a popular destination for summer camps for amateur astronomers, offering one of the observation sites with the darkest, most pristine sky and accessible by normal vehicles.

Symbolic statues

Highlight • Other

On the way to the Agnel pass, 3 characters seem to watch over the road. Their mysterious appearance breaks the monotony of the climb a little by trying to evoke 3 symbols of life.
The first statue with its long hair recalls the rooting necessary for all plant life but also for any other form of life because without vegetation there can be no life.
The second represents water, which promotes the rooting and growth of vegetation, but also quenches the thirst of men and animals.
The third represents the sun and the moon, lights of day and night.
