Hiking
This is a simple mountain pass, at an altitude of 2,435 metres, between Val Sapin and Comba d'Arminaz, a side valley of Val Ferret. The views over Val Veny, to the south, are breathtaking and you can see very far. From here, a short climb takes you to the top of the Tête de la Tronche.

Hiking
Easy pass crossing (2435 m) between Val Sapin near Courmayeur and Comba d'Arminaz, a side valley of Val Ferret. Beautiful views far south into the Val Veny.
The pass is on the course of the CCC, a trail marathon as part of the UTMB that runs over 100 km and 6100 m from Courmayeur to Chamonix. The climb from Courmayeur to the pass and on to the Tête de la Tronche is the first hard climb immediately after the start.
