The Agnel Pass is located on the border between France and Italy. At 2,744 meters, it is one of the highest passes in France. From Guillestre, the climb is 42 kilometers long with an average gradient of 4.13%. However, from Château-Ville-Vieille, the climb is 21 kilometers with an average gradient of 6.6%. The last section is particularly difficult as the air becomes thinner.

This Colle dell'Agnello is one of the most classic climbs in the Western Alps, and has often been the scene of stages of the Giro d'Italia. Very challenging both for its length and the difference in altitude, and for its altitude (it starts from 1,800 meters in Chianale and reaches almost 2,750 meters on the hill). The views, however, are stunning and worth the effort. The French side is less steep, so those who tackle it during trips lasting several days can plan the climb from France, which is less challenging, and enjoy the descent and the views.

An endless climb, it really puts you to the test but the views are incredible.
