Gateway to the Maritime Alps, an area of rugged foothills behind the French Riviera.

This is early March, with the ski season nearing its end.

St Martin on the map,
on the road this col is signposted 'Colmaine'.

It's a long climb from the west, fairly easy and unremarkable from the east, pictured here.
