Col de Rousset Pass and Tunnel

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass with an altitude of 1,254 meters is exceptional in more than one way! It is one of the gateways to the Vercors plateau. The Tour de France has passed through here three times: in 1984, 1996 and 1998.

You leave the Diois behind you after a long climb made up of countless bends. The tunnel at the top of the pass magically opens you into a new world of wild high plateaus and beautiful valleys.

Ascent from Die to Col du Rousset

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

On the Die side, it's a climb of nearly 20 kilometers, long but generally easy—about 5%—with a series of impressive switchbacks and magnificent views. Don't forget your lights for the tunnel at the summit.
