The Col de Voza is a popular mountain pass in a saddle between the Prarion and Mont Lachat summits. The pass connects the Chamonix Valley and the Bionnassay valleys and is a major cross road on the famous Tour du Mont Blanc multi-day hike. The Col de Voza has one of the main train stops for the Tramway du Mont Blanc which runs from Le Fayet at the end of the Montjoie valley to the Nid d'Aigle. There is a large holiday center located at the Col de Voza operated by the Apas-btp association with a restaurant open to the public. We got a number of hiking and running trails passing through or nearby the Col de Voza including the route from Charousse to Prarion and back down to Lac Chavants via the Col de Voza
