Col du Grand Colombier

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass, just over 1,500 meters high, is truly wonderful in every respect. The ascent is via small roads with very little traffic, but with many great views – the best of both worlds, so to speak. At the top, you'll find less tourist hustle and bustle than on other more prominent passes. Therefore, you can enjoy the view into the valley here particularly relaxed. Unfortunately, there is no supply point.
