    The Col de Larche, located on the border between France and Italy, is an emblematic mountain passage in the Alps. With its 1,996 meters of altitude, it offers breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding Alpine peaks. This historic route has been used for centuries for trade and the passage of military troops. Today, the Col de Larche continues to be an essential crossing point, attracting nature lovers and adventurers in search of alpine discoveries.

      Pleasantly even and quite quiet climb from the Val Ubaye. Gasthaus am Vertex was closed when I drove at the end of September 2023. Kiosk was open. Motorcyclists were a little more annoying than on my previous passes (Lauterat, Vars).

        Attention status at the end of July 2023: The driveway to the Col de Larche is currently closed to cyclists, at least from the direction of France, probably due to a road-narrowing construction project. Supposedly, regular checks are made there and the opposite direction is supposedly allowed for bicycle traffic.
