Machine Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Machine is located at the end of the remote karst of Combe Laval. The panorama is spectacular and the site gives you an overall impression of the natural environment which constitutes the Vercors massif.

Ascent to the Col de la Machine

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
