The Col des Fours is located at an altitude of 2,976 meters. It offers an absolutely grandiose panorama over the Grand Fond lake in the foreground, and over the glaciers and peaks that mark the Franco-Italian border in the background: the Albaron, the Petite Ciamarella, the Pointe de Bonneval, the glacier des Évettes and Grand Méan... to name a few!

A good accomplishment. The climb from the refuge of the same name is not hard and rather regular. A magnificent view at the pass, but why not continue to the tip...
