About the Col du Chaussy
The Col du Chaussy is a mountain pass at roughly 1,540 metres in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It sits above the Maurienne, the long glacial valley that runs south-west through Savoie towards Italy, and is known mainly as a gateway to the ski areas and summer trails of the surrounding massif. The landscape combines wooded slopes, open pastures and rocky summits typical of the northern French Alps.
What the camera shows and when to watch
The title names the Montpascal summit and the valley below, so the view is likely to be dominated by these mountains and the valley floor, depending on the framing. Clear mornings tend to give the sharpest distant ridges, while afternoons often bring cloud build-up over the peaks. Watching at dawn or late afternoon can show how light moves across the slopes, and winter views may show snow cover on the higher ground.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
The Maurienne has a mixed climate, with cold snowy winters and warm, sunny summers that suit hiking and cycling. Mountain weather can change quickly, so check the live forecast on this page before heading up. Nearby cameras include Les Karellis, Les Menuires at Roc des 3 Marches, Saint-Rémy-de-Maurienne at the A43 Hurtières, and Saint-Sorlin d'Arves, which give a wider picture of the region.
