An alpine pass on the Italian-French border, reachable from Bardonecchia with an easy walk if you take the military road, but 3 and a half hours long. But it's worth it, spectacular place!

June 12, 2025,Roc de Jany e Colle della Rho da Bardonecchia, anello 🇮🇹🇫🇷

Rho Valley very beautiful, with intense blooms and extensive meadows, wild. The military road going up is almost perfect, the path we took going down is very stony and with a couple of adventurous fords, but nothing impossible. Numerous animals spotted, myriads of marmots but also chamois, roe deer and a fox 🦊
