Col du Granon (2,413 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Beautiful view of the Ecrins. On the Col is a small restaurant Buvette du Granon with a sun terrace. Did you know that you can also cycle up or down the Granon unpaved?

Round trip with an endless long trail descent from Briançon. Unfortunately, my Kommot recording stopped halfway through. After the climb to the forts above Briançon, we went on forest roads and trails to Val-des-Prés. From there, the very lonely climb began, on sometimes rough roads, to the Col Granon.
