    At 2,671 meters above sea level, the Grand Fond pass offers a beautiful view of the Pierra Menta, Mont Blanc, the lake and the Presset refuge.

      The Col du Grand Fond (2671 m) is a fairly easy pass at Beaufortain. North side access through a large debris and block dump from the Combe de la Nueva. South side, partly overhanging slope above the Lac de Presset, not far from the Refuge de Presset.
      View to Mont Blanc and south to the massifs of Ecrins to Vanoise.

        Residual snowfield on the north-eastern slope, August 2024. Magnificent site.
