ヴィッラールペリスの峠・トップ20

It marks the Italian-French border and can be reached from Italy in an hour and 45 minutes from the Jervis refuge, with a path that climbs through the woods without particular difficulties, to finally emerge onto alpine meadows.

A quick stop at the Monta refuge on the way down, a nice little Queyras beer

Located at Colle della Vaccera, reachable from multiple sides and by any means

If you plan to cross the pass as part of an Alpine cross-country bike ride, it's essential to lift and carry your bike over large boulders and rocks. Simply pushing isn't enough. The exit is very steep. An alternative route would be via the Col Agnel road.

Tough climb alternating stretches in the woods and stretches on asphalt, but the view once you reach the hill is worth the effort.

Done in two days it remains less demanding with an overnight stay at the Vallanta refuge

At the pass itself, there is a small customs post, restored in the 50s but unfortunately already in ruins again. This pass was a high place of passage, very busy, between the valley of the Prá (Italian) and the valley of the Guil (French). The landscapes are sumptuous. It is recommended, if you are on the French side, to have the most varied views, to go up from the Echalp, and go back down towards the Monta, then take the path along the Guil to reach the Echalp. Very beautiful hike, path without any technical difficulty.

Pass that connects Val Pellice to Val Chisone. Beautiful views
