    The Col de Balme at 2,195 meters is a pass between Switzerland and France.
    The pass is located between the peaks of TĂŞte de Balme and Les Grandes Otanes.
    Who makes the tour Mt. Blanc eventually comes past the pass.

    Super friendly hosts, happy to charge your e-bike battery. Just ask. Fantastic panoramic views of both valleys.

    The single trails on the Argentine side look great. The descent to Trient is arduous, with big bumps and really steep parts that I could only transfer.
