It is a superb pass located at an altitude of 1694 meters. From there, you can admire the entire Belledonne chain, the peaks of the Bauges massif, and the Rochers de la Bade. The Col de la Cochette is dominated by the ridge of Mont Colombier. It is a magnificent spot!

The "summit" is unspectacular, as it is almost at the edge of the road. But the view is bombastic and this is where the (optional) ascent to the Colombier begins.
