This little-known pass offers magnificent views of the Mont-Blanc massif. But the climb is worth it. You have the option of continuing in gravel mode towards the Col des Aravis.

The Arpettaz Refuge at the foot of Mont-Charvin, is a mountain hut/restaurant on the outskirts of Savoie, Haute-Savoie, in the middle of mountain pastures at 1581 m. on the Col d'Arpettaz.
From the refuge and the col there are exceptional views of the Mont-Blanc mountain range.
