Iseran pass from Termignon
This itinerary takes you through the small villages of Haute Maurienne Vanoise to reach Europe's highest road pass: the Iseran, at an altitude of 2770 m!
Description
From Termignon, take the direction of Lanslebourg and the Iseran pass. You will cross the villages of Lanslebourg, Lanslevillard, Bessans and Bonneval-sur-Arc, a classified village and member of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France".
Just after Termignon, the "bario" will be your first difficulty with an average of more than 10% for almost a kilometer. Then, after leaving the village of Lanslevillard, you will be confronted with the rather steep ascent of the Collet de la Madeleine over 3 kilometers. Finally, after about ten kilometers on the flat, and after Bonneval-sur-Arc, you will have to face the slopes of the mythical pass of Iseran. A final ascent which is divided into three very steep segments (between 7 and 10% slope) interspersed with 2 portions with less than 5% slope which will allow you to breathe a little.
At the top, a magnificent panorama awaits you!
