View from Col de Vassieux

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Col de Vassieux saddle, your view extends almost to infinity: in front of you, at the foot of the mountain, you can see the villages of Marignac-en-Diois and Die. If you lift your gaze, you can let it wander over the southern foothills of the French Alps.
