The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Col de Sarenne at 2000m elevation, small natural parking with breathtaking 360° views over the Meije massif and Emparis plateau. Ideal base for hiking (glaciers, lakes, waterfalls). Dry toilets and water point available. Access via narrow, winding mountain road. Very quiet at night despite daytime crowds in summer. Prepare for cold, wind and harsh weather conditions.
Highlights
- Spectacular panoramic view with remarkable sunrises and sunsets
- Very quiet at night, discreet and natural setting
- Great starting point for varied hikes
- Easy access by van/motorhome despite the narrow road
Good to know
- Extreme weather: intense cold, strong winds, overnight frosts
- Narrow, winding access road unsettling for some drivers
- Risk of encountering aggressive herding dogs (patous)
- Poor phone reception, possible winter closure
Motorhome access : Winding and narrow mountain road, but accessible for campervans and vans. Easy maneuvering in the small parking area. Watch for width and tight turns. Access may be closed in winter.
