About this place

Crosses the eastern ridge of the limestone Dévoluy from the Champsaur, between the Pic Ponsin and the Tête du Tourneau. The Champsaur side is very steep and the Dévoluy side fairly flat, and snow and frequent rockfall keep the road shut for nearly six months a year. A Napoleon refuge at the top is now a bar, restaurant and souvenir shop.
