Col du Donon, Mountain pass in Grandfontaine, France.

The Col du Donon is a mountain pass at 728 metres altitude in the Vosges, in the commune of Grandfontaine. It lies at the foot of the Donon summit, which rises nearly 300 m above it, and links Schirmeck 10 km to the south-east, Raon-l'Étape 29 km to the south-west, Abreschviller 24 km to the north and Sarrebourg 40 km to the north-east. A stone fountain and a stone statue stand at the pass.

In June 1940, after the French defeat, 40,000 of the 1,800,000 French prisoners of war escaped, often heading west with the Donon as their landmark. In the Vosges villages, woodcutters, railway workers, teachers and clergy organised escape routes or guided escapees alone, and some died in reprisal camps. The monument to the escapees and guides was inaugurated in 1960 by M. Triboulet, Minister of Veterans, with Slovakia's ambassador present.

At the pass stands a stone statue and a fountain, and near the monument to escapees and smugglers visitors can spot a wooden zipper. The monument, inaugurated in 1960 by veterans minister Triboulet, holds a casket of earth from Strecno in Slovakia, linking the Donon to the Slovak memorial of the 1944 uprising.

The pass sits at 728 m at the foot of the Donon, which rises nearly 300 m above it. It links Schirmeck 10 km to the south-east, Raon-l'Étape 29 km to the south-west, Abreschviller 24 km to the north and Sarrebourg 40 km to the north-east. The Donon-Prayé Nordic area offers 65 km of marked trails.

Near the monument to escapees and smugglers stands a wooden zipper sculpture, an unusual object often missed by visitors. The pass also hosted a Montaz Mautino ski lift built in 1976 at the foot of the Hôtel Le Vellada; 250 m long, it served a green run and was abandoned in the late 1980s.
