    Tips

    A very beautiful high mountain pass that allows us to access a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc. This pass connects Italy and France. Some technical advice:
    - On the Italian side, the path is rather well marked and is not very difficult and steep. It takes about twenty minutes to connect the Tachuy lake to the pass.
    - On the French side the path is just as visible but a little more difficult because it is a little steeper. It takes about an hour to access it from the Petit lake.
    - Be careful, potential presence of snow, even in summer (but in very reasonable quantity: we can get around...).

        This pass is worth a visit for its diversity of landscapes, from the Ruitor valley to Lake Petit, passing through the Tachuy pass, on the border with Italy, and its panorama on the southeast face of the Mont Blanc chain.
