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.

Col de Vessonaz, or Col Vessona, is located at 2,794 meters above sea level and can be reached from Closé, from the west, and Valtournenche, from the east. The gaze is lost among the peaks on the horizon: a breathtaking view! The western side is much steeper than the eastern side, but both can be done by running. From here you can also climb to the top of Mount Faroma, but the terrain becomes very technical as you go up.
