Col de la Rho

Beautiful view of what you have traveled and what awaits you.

Fun descent from the French side

Undoubtedly, the scenery is magnificent, since the Rho valley begins at the col at more than 2,500 meters and descends to 1,300 meters from Bardonecchia, always surrounded by a line of spectacular rocky mountains. Especially on the western slope, we will always advance along the crest of the Rei Magi, a mountain range that groups together different peaks such as Punta Melchiorre (2,949 m.), Punta Baldassarre (3,164 m.), Roca Bernauda (3,226 m.) or the Cima della Planette (3,102 m.) The entire ridge is spectacular, with walls that drop hundreds of meters. This ridge separates the valley through which we will climb, that of the Rho, from the Stretta valley, and precisely the ridge line also marks the border between the two states.
