A stroll on a balcony overlooking the Tarentaise valley. There are exceptional views of Les Arcs and Belle Plagne on the other side of the valley. It is a much calmer road than the one at the bottom of the valley.

Really little-used, but also very hilly alternative to the Isère cycle path from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Aime. In the other direction the climbs are even harder and longer as BSM is higher than Aime. The roads are sometimes bad, but you will be rewarded with breathtaking views. It's definitely worth it and there are plenty of fountains along the way :-)

Balcony road overlooking the busy N90, on the sunny slope.
Spectacular, breathtaking view...
