Remote pass that connects the Geneva basin with the Valserine valley. The pass can be reached via forest roads from Divonne or Vesancy. It is therefore a good alternative to the heavily trafficked Col de la Faucille, Col de la Givrine or Col du Marchairuz, which are ideal for the descent because of the better road surface.

Somewhat hidden pass that connects the Geneva area to the Valserine valley. Paved forest roads from Divonne or Vesancy lead up to the pass. It is therefore a good alternative to the busy Col de la Faucille, Col de la Givrine or Col du Marchairuz, which in return are good choices for the descent since the pavement is better.

Col de la Faucille (1323 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Perched at an altitude of 1,323 metres, the Col de la Faucille welcomes you with a 360-degree panorama of the Alps and the Valserine Valley.
Whether you attack it from the north or the south, the spectacle is not long in coming. Its ascent from the south, on the road to Gex, has the appearance of a great Alpine pass with its many bends and countless views of the Mont-Blanc massif.
