Colle Clapier, located in the Cottian Alps, is a historic Alpine pass that connects Italy and France. At 2,491 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking views and a route full of history, considered by some scholars to be one of the possible passages crossed by Hannibal during his famous crossing of the Alps.
