At 2,299 meters above sea level, the Col Lacroix marks the border between France and Italy. There are the remains of a Napoleon refuge built between 1857 and 1858 under Napoleon III, and destroyed during the Second World War.

At the pass itself, there is a small customs post, restored in the 50s but unfortunately already in ruins again. This pass was a high place of passage, very busy, between the valley of the Prá (Italian) and the valley of the Guil (French). The landscapes are sumptuous. It is recommended, if you are on the French side, to have the most varied views, to go up from the Echalp, and go back down towards the Monta, then take the path along the Guil to reach the Echalp. Very beautiful hike, path without any technical difficulty.
