🛇 Col de Pelouse

The Col de Pelouse is a mountain pass in the Alps on the border between France and Italy. It lies at an elevation of 2,793 metres (9,163 ft) and has a north–south orientation. On the northern (French) side, the pass leads into the valley of the Maurienne; on the southern (Italian) side, the Val di Susa. To its west rises the summit of Gardoria, a mountain peak in the Mont Cenis on the France-Italy border, and to its east that of Aiguille de Scolette. It lies close to the Fréjus Road Tunnel that connects Avrieux in France with Bardonecchia in Italy.
