One of the highlights of the French Alps. With a length of just four kilometers and an altitude difference of 350 metres, this gem has a whopping 18 hairpin bends. A must for every lover of winding, slow and promising driving. Tip: Just don't lean on the shaky railing. That is there only pro formaaaaaaaaaaa….

The dream uphill, as you can enjoy the view in every curve. Once at the top, continue the tour over the Madeleine. Top location. Better not go downhill.
