Stunning mountain pass alongside the legendary Route Napoléon

Col de Corobin is located in the south of the small town of Digne-les-Bains in Southern French. It leads onto the national road N85 near Chaudon-Norante.

Napoleon crossed it on 3/11/1815 on his way back to Grenoble from exile. That’s why this spot is located on the famous scenic route in Southern France.

Col de Corobin is also known as part of the Tour de France back in 1969 and 2005. The upper part of the route leads through a stunning rocky landscape.
