Col de Pierre Carrée is the highest Col in the north French alps that is open all year – to provide access to Flaine ski station.
By far the highest Col near me that is open 12 months a year.
I often suggest this as a perfect introductory climb for the famous big Alps climbs.
At 1844 metres, Col de Pierre Carrée just above Flaine ski station is the highest road I know in the area that is cleared virtually all year.
