Col du Granon (el. 2413 m or 7917 ft) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the department of Hautes-Alpes in France. A narrow tarmac road winds steeply up the southern approach. Gravel roads continue beyond the pass in a military training zone.[citation needed]It hosted the highest ever mountain-top stage finish in the Tour de France—once only—in 1986 until the 2011 Tour de France that had a finish in the Col du Galibier at 2645 m (8678 ft) of altitude.
