The Col de Salenton is a mountain pass on the border of two major natural reserves. On the west side lies the Aiguilles Rouges natural reserve and on the east side lies the Vallon de Berard natural reserve. This is fairly remote location in the valley north from Chamonix.
The Col de Salenton lies above the Refuge de la Pierre a Berard. It is also on the crossroads to many popular trails. The first being the long trail from Vallorcine to Servoz which cuts right across both natural reserves. The second popular trail is the trail to the summit of Mont Buet. This trail technically does not pass by the Col de Salenton but it is very nearby and there are alternatives you can do that would see you use the Col de Salenton as part of a longer trail to or from Servoz or the Refuge Moede Anterne.
