Col d'Arves

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col d’Arves, perched at an altitude of 2,100 metres, offers a breathtaking panorama of the majestic Aiguilles d'Arves and the surrounding Alpine peaks. This Alpine pass, accessible by hiking trails, is a privileged place for mountain lovers in search of tranquility and grandiose landscapes. The alpine meadows and green valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see contrast with the snow-capped peaks.

Col de la Croix de Fer

Highlight • Mountain Pass

There are three different ways to climb to the top of the Col de la Croix de Fer. The most famous is the climb from the Verney dam in the Oisans valley, because it is the slope used in the Marmotte (except the last kilometers). It is 27.5 kilometers long with an elevation gain of 1292 meters. The average slope is 4.7% with maximum slopes of 11.1%.

The Col de la Croix de Fer from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is 28.2 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1475 meters. The average gradient is 5.23% with maximum gradients of 9.6%

The final ascent is via the Col du Glandon. After the summit of Glandon it remains approximately 2 kilometers to the summit.
