Hiking
The Col de Cou forms the border between Switzerland and France here and was particularly popular with smugglers in the early 20th century. Goods such as sugar, butter, watches and tobacco crossed the border here. But opponents of the government and Jews also used this transition to flee during World War II.

Hiking
The customs building at the Col is magnificent, nestled between the crests of the Mine d'Or and the "Rouleau du Bostan". Many paths and hikes of all levels pass through it.
