Col Saint-Pantaléon

Aosta Valley

The quiet road over the Col Saint-Pantaléon crosses a broad saddle of hay meadows and scattered farms between the Valtournenche and the central valley. Gentle marked loops run through the pastures and larch clumps, and on a clear day the Matterhorn rises cleanly to the north over the intervening ridges.
