Col de la Colombière (el. 1613 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the department of Hautes-Alpes in France.
It connects Cluses in the Arve valley Le-Grand-Bornand in the Borne valley. The road then leads further to Annecy or over Col des Aravis to the Arly valley. The pass is not an important traffic route because there are better roads that parallel it.
The pass road has a maximum grade of 10 percent.
The pass has been included in the Tour de France several times, recently in 2005 and 2006. Although the pass is not very high, it is technically difficult for bikers.
