Col de la Croix de Fer 2,067m France ★★★
Ridden...
2015
Description...
D 926 Saint Sorlin D’Arves to D927 junction.
Approaching from Col du Mollard we have only ridden this pass once, in 2015, on our Central Alps tour. Once we left the D80 and got on to the D926 the road improved and opened out as we rose up above the farms and villages. There are some tight hairpins followed by contour risers as you approach the summit and great views of mountains and ski slopes.
After a brief photo stop at the summit we road on to the East and then turned right on to the D927 almost immediately arriving at the top of Col du Glandon.
