Col Agnel Border Monument

Highlight • Monument

Colle dell'Agnello (2,744 meters above sea level - Col Agnel in French; Còl dl'Agnél in Piedmontese) is an Alpine pass in the Cottian Alps (Monviso Alps), as well as the second-highest road pass in Italy and the third-highest in Europe [N 2], preceded only by the Colle dell'Iseran [N 3] in the French Alps and the Stelvio Pass in the Ortler Alps.

Located southwest of Monviso, between Pan di Zucchero and Punta dell'Alp, it connects Italy to France from the Piedmontese municipality of Pontechianale to the French municipality of Molines-en-Queyras in the Hautes-Alpes department [N 4]. It was inaugurated in 1973 by expanding a pre-existing dirt military road; It has been a transit point for several stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France and a popular destination for summer camps for amateur astronomers, offering one of the observation sites with the darkest, most pristine sky and accessible by normal vehicles.

Castello

Highlight • Settlement

Small village at the beginning of Lake Pontechianale. There is an interesting sundial clearly visible from the street, and a beautiful fountain which also acts as a water point. The dam, built in the early 1940s, is worth a look. The Alevè tourist refuge offers an excellent base. The lakeside promenade towards the Maddalena hamlet (Pontechianale) is beautiful.
