The Col du Pré de Raves (French pronunciation: [kɔl dy pʁe də ʁav]) is a secondary mountain pass in the Vosges Massif. It is a crossing point on the Route des Crêtes (D 148).
Raves originates from the term "rava," which refers to the confluence of two streams or the place where multiple watercourses meet.[1]
Geography
Located on the edge of the Croix-aux-Mines state forest, the pass is accessible via the Departmental Road 148, which connects the Col des Bagenelles to the Vosges department after the Col du Calvaire, or by taking the Jean-François Pelet road leading to the forest road of Pré des Raves from the Col de Mandray.[2]
