The Col des Champs is a mountain pass located at an altitude of 2,045 m, on the border of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes departments, which links Colmars to Saint Martin d'Entraunes in the Haute Var.
Description
It is a small mountain road bordered by the forest and very picturesque. Firstly by the narrowness of the road which makes it accessible to vehicles less than 3.5T (also watch out for certain camper vans!) and by the succession of numerous bends which allow you to climb towards the summits. You can travel it by car, allow 1 hour to reach St Martin d'Entraunes or on foot for the more athletic via the GR52 A!
