Monument dedicated to the winner of the first Tour de France, Maurice Garin, originally from Chez-les-Garin (a group of houses above Leverogne, part of the municipality of Arvier) who then emigrated to France (and became a naturalized French citizen, so much so that he is listed as such in the roll of honour) to work as a chimney sweep.

The climb in the proper sense ends at Planpincieux, from there you proceed on a long slight slope that allows you to enjoy the splendid nature of the valley and the immensity of Mont Blanc, after passing Lavachey, you regain altitude with a couple of hairpin bends and return on a slight slope that leads to Arpnouva where the road ends.

A typical Aosta Valley village nestled in the mountains, a crossroads for Colle San Carlo, the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Pré-Saint-Didier. A little trivia: it was here that, at the end of the Second World War, a partisan brigade and a small republican brigade, putting aside all hatred, jointly opposed De Gaulle's attempt to annex the Aosta Valley to France.

La Thuile is one of the largest municipalities in the Aosta Valley; it is located in Valdigne, an area whose name derives from "Vallis Digna" which describes a valley worthy of being colonized for its magnificent exposure at the foot of Mont Blanc but above all worthy of the highest consideration because it was the main connection route with Narbonensis Gaul. At 1450 meters above sea level La Thuile is a mountain village with just over 800 inhabitants (less than seven per square kilometre) which become many more thanks to its strong tourist vocation: in winter it is an international ski resort with slopes reaching the Little Saint Bernard Pass and La Rosiére and in summer it is a place for nature walks, bike excursions and outdoor activities. You can admire the Rutor Glacier (the third largest in the Aosta Valley) with the Rutorine waterfalls with 3 rock falls, discover the mining past linked to the extraction of silver first and then anthracite, find old seventeenth-century entrenchments or admire glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif. In the midst of so much nature, the traditions of a mountain culture rich in values also stand out: food and wine, craftsmanship (The Maison Musée Berton - maisonberton.it - is the ideal place to discover it through a private collection in a private villa now transformed into a house museum) , local products such as Fontina - fontina-dop.it -.

Built at the end of the 15th century by Bonifacio d'Avise, the castle consists of a three-storey building flanked by a quadrangular tower. The entrance door features the motto of the lords of Avise: "Qui tost Avise tart se repent". Currently restored and open to visits, it is used for events and temporary exhibitions. Inside, what deserves particular attention is the large room with the fireplace, the furnishings with the pewter collection, the "safe room", the "shelf room", famous for the fourteen wooden shelves carved with figures of animals, monsters and characters dressed in fifteenth-century style, and the frescoes. All these elements place the Avise commission in a well-defined trend of "official" taste of the time.
