    Col de Freu is a beautiful and isolated mountain pass, located on the eastern ridge of Roche Parnal. The pass connects to the surrounding multi-use trail system, with technical and rocky alpine trails winding around the surrounding mountains.

    Crossing the Col du Freux is horrendous.
    The path leading to the hamlet of Sambuis is very steep, requiring pushing or even portaging for 600 meters.
