The Col Agnel climbs from Molines up to the Italian border at 2,744 metres, making it one of the highest paved passes in the Alps. The road is open roughly from June to October, depending on snow.
On a clear day, the view east into the Piedmontese valleys is exceptional. The pass is a regular fixture on long-distance cycling tours and has appeared in the Tour de France. On the Italian side it drops into the Val Varaita.
