Exceptional vantage point with spectacular views of peaks such as the Pierre Menue (3,505 meters) along the valley leading to the Sommeiller Pass and the Dolomite ridge between Rocca Bernauda and Punta Quattro Sorelle.

Hiking

A rugged border pass linking Italy back to France, the Col de la Mulattiera is as remote as it is demanding. The climb is steep and loose, with the final meters carved into bare rock. At the top, the views stretch endlessly across the plateau of Col du Granon, the Cerces massif, and the Italian valleys behind you. Beside the pass stands the Caserma XVI, a weathered stone barracks, a quiet trace of the lives once lived in these high borderlands.

Mountain biking

It is certainly technical, not suitable for beginners but it is very feasible and on the final, as well as the first section at high altitude, also quite flow. A few short hand passes due to the river bed with large stones. I have a 29 "front. Descent on the Melezet / Chesal side.
