The Col Agnel, the second-highest pass in the French Alps, is the gateway from the Queyras Regional Nature Park to the Val Varaita in Piedmont. A pass dominated by imposing peaks: the Taillante ridge, Pain de Sucre, Pic d'Asti and Mont Viso.

Located at the bottom of Aigue Agnelle valley, the Col Agnel is a must for cycling enthusiasts, and is regularly used by riders in the Italian Giro. Make a pitstop at the Agnel refuge, before reaching the Col Agnel at 2,744 m, the only road between the Queyras and Italy. From here, you can gaze across the Val Varaïta from this magnificent viewpoint. Europe's highest border pass boasts an exceptional view of Mont Viso; it is also the starting point for numerous hikes to lakes Foréant, Egorgéou and Baricle.
