This wild col opens out at the top of a winding, unsurfaced road at an altitude of 2,107 metres (6,913 ft). The views are spectacular, especially south-west towards the high Vanoise, snow-capped all year round.

Enjoyable running trails stretch in every direction, calling out to be explored: down to Lac du Saint-Guerin, past the Croix du Berger towards Mont Coin, up to the Cret du Boeuf, or through the valley to Granier.
