크리솔로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

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.

The climb is 100% cyclable but with some steep slopes. Refill your water at Barbara. The Barant is closed for restoration.

Beautiful 360-degree view of the Pellice Valley and the surrounding mountains

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

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.

The Barant Refuge, located on Colle Barant at 2,373 m above sea level within the Pra-Barant Oasis in the upper Pellice Valley, is a hiking refuge born from the renovation of an old military barracks from the 1930s. Open from June to September, it offers around 30 beds and home cooking. Its panoramic position offers an open view of Monviso, the Conca del Prà and, on clear days, all the way to the Turin plain. By mountain bike it can be reached from the Barbara Lowrie refuge by climbing for almost six kilometres and 620 metres of altitude along a spectacular ex-military dirt road.

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.
