A wild mountain pass, balanced between the Swiss and French borders. To access the pass, you'll encounter technical alpine trails, channeling your inner mountain goat spirit to reach the summit cleanly. Once you are there you will have an excellent view, in a surreal and unique place. Reaching this terrain on your own is a fantastic achievement and a rewarding challenge, especially as you'll have a brilliant technical descent to look forward to.

Push up about 300m from St. Bernhard, then you'll have an incredible panorama of the entire Mont Blanc massif. The trail meanders down through the glacier lakes. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

I recommend choosing the classic crossing via Col de Ferret. In contrast to the Fenetre de Ferret, the climb is partly rideable and the view of the Mont Blanc massif is much more spectacular.
