The large wooden cross at the Col du Salvé, located at 2,569 meters above sea level in the Saint-Barthélemy Valley, is a significant landmark for hikers and pilgrims.

This cross, erected for religious and symbolic reasons, represents a sign of devotion and a point of orientation in an often severe mountain environment. Its presence at the top of the hill also offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley below and the surrounding peaks, making the climb a spiritual and contemplative experience.

The wooden cross, although simple, blends harmoniously into the Alpine landscape, testifying to the tradition of erecting religious symbols in high places as a sign of faith and hope.

The climb is a bit steep, but the view makes it worth the effort!
