Iseran pass
With 2764 m, the Iseran pass is the highest mountain pass in the Alps and in France. It is located in the Vanoise National Park. It connects the valleys of the Arc and the Isère.
Description
High place of the Tour de France Cycling.
It is the highest road pass in the Alps.
From the summit at 2 764 m of altitude, you flirt with the glaciers of Val d'Isère and the Vanoise.
It is also a Mecca for the Tour de France cyclists.
The Col de l'Iseran, which marks the border between the Maurienne and Tarentaise regions, dominates the Grandes Alpes road, a famous tourist route that takes you through the entire French Alps.
Like the greatest cyclists, you still have 17 km and 920 m of difference in altitude from Val d'Isère to become a legend!
Electrically assisted bicycles are even available in some hotels or for rent: cyclists and bikers of all kinds, welcome to the road to the Col!
