A cross marks this pass, located at an altitude of 2,438 meters, at the foot of Mount Thabor. The Col de la Vallée Étroite was part of the Maginot Line between 1928 and 1940. These days, you don't see many soldiers, but a good number of mountain enthusiasts!

A plateau characterized by a cross that also indicates the French region in which it is located and the altitude, there is an almost dried up pond and is a crossroads of different destinations

From here begins the descent towards the homonymous valley, the very flowy start must not be misleading there will be technical sections to tackle
