Viewpoint

31.1 km

Refuge Napoléon is a place you must stop during your bike ride over the Col d'Izoard. Nowhere else do the cakes taste as good as here. And that is not because of the sweet taste of your victory at the Izoard, but because the pastry here is really good. You will find the Refuge Napoléon after a kilometer descent from the north side of the Col d'Izoard, or in the last kilometer of your climb (but do you stop for cake?). Sit on the terrace, enjoy the view and be pampered.

Saint-Chaffrey

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Chaffrey is frequently crossed by the Tour de France towards Galibier and Briançon. It is several kilometers from the base of the Col du Granon, so if you want to fill up your water bottles and take a break before you start climbing, now is your best bet.

Montgenèvre Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Montgenèvre connects Briançon, France, to Cesana Torinese, Italy. The pass, at 1,850 meters, is located entirely in France. The Montgenèvre pass is a historic pass: for the Romans it was the easiest road to go from Piedmont to the Durance valley.
