Col de Restefond (el. 2680 m./8800 ft.) is a high mountain pass in the French Maritime Alps, near the border with Italy.
It is one of the highest paved alpine roads, especially when the extension to Col de la Bonette (2802 m) is included, which strictly speaking is not a pass, only a scenic route which makes a turn around the Cime de la Bonette (2860 m).
This pass, like many others in the region, is generally impassable (closed) due to ice and snow from November to May.
