Nice small pass, decent but steady climb. Great views and a nice restaurant at the pass, Refuge Auberge du Col de l'Arpettaz

The trail connecting to the col de la Croix Fry from the col du Merdassier offers spectacular views. Without any particular difficulty, it allows you to appreciate the panoramas that open up at every new turn.

Little-known and little-frequented pass, the climb is done alone and without a sound in the forest. The view is magnificent and on arrival, the refuge allows you to have a small drink (⚠️payment by species only). The road is in poor condition and it can be disturbing on the way down. If you have a Gravel and courage, the thirst route (Gravel/mountain bike path) allows you to reach the Col des Aravis and is magnificent. Enjoy your climb and for more advice, follow us on Komoot and Instagram @chouchou_team

This pass will allow you to go more “quickly” from the Beaufortin valley (Queige) to the Val d'Arly (Ugine or l'Île) without passing through Albertville. It is not a very high pass, 871 m, not very long – 6.8 km maximum – but it is a bit steep with a minimum gradient of 7% on average for the South and West-North slopes, 8% for the North slope.
