How to get there	This is the on the Col de l’Izoard road and is located at the parking place at the famous Casse Deserte. The climb here from Château-Queyras (1345) is the main difficulty on the Col de l’Izoard pass climb. It is steep after Arvieux.
Other comments	There is a sign announcing this pass at the parking place, but its authenticity as a true pass has been debated. On this map excerpt at centcols.org website you could see a path leading off (to another valley) from the point of this pass, so it is probably correct even though the sign is somewhat recently put there. For all cyclists this just a place on the way to or from Col de l’Izoard (see that pass for more information). [05-2220a]
