How to get there	From France in the west you can start in Barcelonette (1136m), Jausiers (1240m) if you come from Col de la Bonette or Les Gleizolles (1309m), if you come from Col de Vars. It is a very easy climb which is never steeper than around 5%. From Italy to the east you start to climb soon after Vinádio (904m) (around the place where the road is coming down from Col de la Lombarde). It is a much longer climb here and with some steeper sections, but on the whole it is very easy also from this side.
Other comments	It is mostly beautiful only below Pietrapórzio (1246m) on the Italian side. It is not the nicest pass in the area, but serves as a very useful means of getting to other fine passes around. It makes possible a nice circular day trip via Col de la Lombarde/Colle della Lombarda and Col de la Bonette, for example. [04-1991]
