Description

Mecca of the Tour de France Cycliste.
It's the highest road pass in the Alps.
From the summit at 2,764 m, you flirt with the glaciers of Val d'Isère and La Vanoise.
It's 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 Route des Grandes Alpes, the famous tourist route that takes you through the entire French Alps.
Just like the greatest cyclists, you still have 17 km and 920 m of ascent from Val d'Isère to enter the legend!
Electrically-assisted bicycles are even available for hire in some hotels: cyclists and bikers of all kinds, welcome to the road to the Col!
