How to get there	From the southeast the climb starts in Bourg-St. Maurice (813m) and the road climbs rather steadily from here to the pass. It is a nice climb where you will have views of the Mont Blanc mountains when passing by Vallée des Glaciers. The other side is ordinarily climbed from Beaufort (745m) directly to the top. It is a bit steep up the serpentines to the Lac de Roselend. An alternative clmib from Beaufort goes via the nice village of Arêches (1055m) and then via Col du Pré (1703m), from where you have fantastic views over the Mont Blanc mountains and the Lac de Roselend. You then descend to the lac and climb up from Barrage de Roselend (1575m) via Col de Méraillet (1605m), which is where you meet the other road on the north side, up to the pass. The last alternative is the hardest and most beautiful approach.
Other comments	The beautiful Lac de Roselend is perhaps what makes this pass stand out. This combined with lovely views of the Mont Blanc mountains has made the pass road become one of the most popular in the Alps. It is still not extremely busy with tourists. There is a bar close to the pass and some more before it on the north side. [73-1968]
