The Col de Joux is a picturesque pass connecting the Ayas Valley to the central valley. The gradients to reach it, both from Saint-Vincent and from Brusson, are always manageable, but never negligible. The word Joux likely derives from a pre-Latin term meaning wooded hill. Others, however, maintain a Latin connection to the word Jugum, meaning yoke, and hence hill.

This pass connects the Ayas valley to the Gressoney valley, offering a magical view. From here it is possible to reach the Pinter lakes, the Testa Grigia peak and the Lateltin bivouac, but these paths are all rocky and technical. However, there is a trail that crosses the pass from northwest to southeast, where it is possible to run. Keep in mind though that the slope is considerable on both sides.
