The Col de Malatrà is a symbol of the Alte Vie of the Aosta Valley; Mont Blanc is framed by the jagged rocks of the hill. For those who compete in the Tor des Geants, on the other hand, it represents the last great effort before the long descent towards Courmayeur.

Col de Malatrà, at an altitude of 2,925 metres, is an iconic place on the Alta Via of the Aosta Valley, with Mont Blanc standing out among the jagged rocks of the pass. For those who do the Tor des Géants, it represents the last great effort before the long descent towards Courmayeur. The terrain in this area is challenging and technical, but it is possible to hold on to the rope fixed to the rock to facilitate the passage.
