The Col des Champs is a mountain pass at an altitude of 2,045 m, on the border between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes departments, linking Colmars to Saint Martin d’Entraunes in the Ht Var.
It’s a small mountain road bordered by forest and very picturesque. The narrowness of the road makes it accessible to vehicles weighing less than 3.5T (and beware of some camping cars!), and the succession of twists and turns takes you up to the summits. You can cover it by car (allow 1 hour to reach St Martin d’Entraunes), or on foot via the GR52 A for the more athletic!
From 30/04 to 15/11.
Please note that opening and closing dates vary according to road conditions. Generally from late April to late October / mid-November (weather permitting).
