Col de l'Arpettaz

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This little-known pass offers magnificent views of the Mont-Blanc massif. But the climb is worth it. You have the option of continuing in gravel mode towards the Col des Aravis.

Tip by

15.8 km

It's a whopper of a climb, over 1,100 metres (3,610 ft) in height gain, but it's a beautiful and almost traffic-free back road to the col and refuge de l'Arpettaz. You'll climb up through dense forests, along tight switchbacks, popping out above the tree line into mountain pastures. A stunning view of the mountain range opens up as you come around the final bend.
