Hill with gentle slopes and a short climb

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.

Col de Joux, located at 1,640 meters above sea level, is a wooded pass connecting Saint-Vincent to the municipality of Brusson. The trails leading here are simple and non-technical, offering panoramic views on the Saint-Vincent side and passages through the woods on the Brusson side. The Ru Courthoud trail also begins here.

If desired, there is also the climb to the Torretta nearby.

Now (August '23) there is a prohibition sign shortly after Col de Joux due to landslides, you are forced to go down to the valley. So in theory the path of the tunnels is forbidden; traveled last year, BEAUTIFUL.

The Fenêtre de Champorcher (French pron. AFI: [fənɛtʁ də ʃɑ̃pɔʁʃe]; also known simply as col Fenêtre, which means window hill in French) (2,827 m a.s.l.) is an Alpine pass in the Graian Alps which joins the Champorcher valley and the valley of Cogne. The hill opens between Bec Costazza and Torre Ponton. From the side of Champorcher la Finestra is located upstream of Lake Misérin and at the head of the valley; from the Cogne side it is found at the head of the Urtier valley (secondary valley of the Cogne valley). From the window the Gran Paradiso national park begins on the Cogne side and on the one towards Champorcher the Mont Avic natural park.[1] According to the SOIUSA orographic classification, the hill separates two of the supergroups that make up the Gran Paradiso Alps, the Emilius-Tersiva Chain (north of the hill) from the Rosa dei Banchi Group (south).[2] It is located along the route of the Alta via della Valle d'Aosta n. 2. The hill, as well as the path, is crossed by the high-voltage power line that transported the electricity produced by the French Superphenix nuclear reactor to Italy.[3]

It's a magical place! Beautiful, with a panorama dominated by the Rosa massif and the Matterhorn!
