The Col de Montgenèvre connects Briançon, France, to Cesana Torinese, Italy. The pass, at 1,850 meters, is located entirely in France. The Montgenèvre pass is a historic pass: for the Romans it was the easiest road to go from Piedmont to the Durance valley.

Saint-Chaffrey

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Chaffrey is frequently crossed by the Tour de France towards Galibier and Briançon. It is several kilometers from the base of the Col du Granon, so if you want to fill up your water bottles and take a break before you start climbing, now is your best bet.

Comments

June 8, 2024,Au Lautaret, chantons sous la pluie.🌧

The Col du Galibier, which was open only up to its tunnel, has been closed for three days due to an avalanche of residual snow that fell from the upstream side of the road. These walls of snow, which can be several meters high, have been weakened by the latest rainfall, weighing down their masses and destroying their precarious cohesion.
