The Col de la Traversette is a bridle pass with an altitude of 2,947 metres in the Cottian Alps. Located between Crissolo and Abriès, it lies on the border between Italy and France and separates the Monviso from the Monte Granero. The Blue Trail of the Via Alpina and the Giro di Viso cross the pass. The 75-metre-long Monte Viso Tunnel is a pedestrian tunnel constructed between 1478 and 1480 to bypass the Col.
