Exceptional 360° view, on one side on the dam, on the Mont Blanc massif (majestic), on the other on Les Saisies, Arêches-Beaufort etc. Sometimes dizzying views.
Fairly easy course except …
The Col de la Pierra Menta peaking at more than 2550m separates Beaufortain from Vanoise. Its crossing requires good management of the fear of heights. Chronic acrophone, refrain.
