Col de l'Œillon (1233 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Col classified out of category from the banks of the Rhône, not so common outside the Alps!
Possible extension to Crêt de l'Oeillon about 15min.
Superb 360 panorama!

The tarmac of the last four km between the Croix du Collet and the Col de l'Oeillon has been partially redone, especially in the direction of the climb (observation in October 2024).
