オイアチェの峠・トップ13

Very panoramic hill, reachable only with bike on your shoulder

The pass between Switzerland and Italy connects Valais and the Aosta Valley (the smallest region in Italy with the black and red flag). "The Fenêtre de Durand is a 2,797-meter-high mountain pass in the Pennine Alps. The mule track connects the Swiss Rhône Valley via the Val de Bagnes with the Italian Aosta Valley. The gap between the 3,347-meter-high Mont Avril and the 3,518-meter-high Mont Gelé (Chanrion) is the only ice-free crossing over the main Alpine ridge east of the Grand Combin massif and west of the Monte Rosa massif. Immediately below the pass summit, on the Italian side, is the small Lac Fenêtre." Source: Wikipedia.

Col du Salvé, at 2,569 meters above sea level, is a pass that offers a wide and suggestive panorama among the mountains of the Saint-Barthélemy Valley. The path that leads to this point passes through woods and pastures, offering a pleasant route immersed in nature. From the hill you can admire the surrounding peaks and continue towards hidden corners such as the Rifugio Oratorio di Cuney or the Lago dell’Eremita, for those who want to prolong the experience among silence and authentic landscapes. A perfect place for those who love to walk slowly and enjoy every breath of the mountains.

La Fenêtre du Tsan, at 2736m, is a natural balcony that opens between the crests of Valtournenche and Valpelline, offering spectacular views of the Becca di Luseney and the Crottes towers. The hike, immersed in mountain pastures, streams and larch woods, culminates in this pass where a stone cairn marks the passage to a breathtaking panorama. An intense stage, suspended between sky and rocks, capable of giving emotions even at high altitude.

Alpine environment of rare beauty. I recommend mountain equipment and gear. Violent hailstorm just as we were on the pass.

The climb from Fionnay up to the reservoir through the many tunnels is an experience; the climb to the col is easy for a long time, but quite steep at the end. The descent across the lake into the valley is an absolutely fantastic trail, culminating in the Ru Neuf irrigation channel.

Amazing views and mtb trail!!
