It's very steep on the eastern side, I recommend going up this bit rather than down.

Horses' Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The path to the pass passes through a rock face on its west side, but is harmless on the east side down to the COL Du Grand St Bernard.

June 29, 2025,Lacs de fenêtre depuis le col du grand St Bernard en passant par le col de Bastillon et le pas des Chevaux

Simply exceptional!
The passage to cross the Col de Bastillon seems nonexistent and impassable until you see the path at the bottom of the cliff.
Not difficult, but there's a slight risk of vertigo.

The horse's pace seems endless 😅 prepare yourself mentally from the start...
