A 360° view of most glaciers (Vanoise, Haute Maurienne, Haute Tarentaise, not forgetting Mont Blanc). Do not hesitate to do it when you arrive at the pass if the weather permits. The climb is quite easy, without particular difficulty, but the dizziness can take a bit.

The ascent to the 3000m is considered easy, the path is not exposed anywhere and is easy to walk. Nevertheless, decent shoes and alpine experience are absolutely necessary in this terrain.
