Lacets de Montvernier
Tour du Châtel © Savoie Mont Blanc - Anglade
Lacet 3CMA
Starting from St-Jean-de-Maurienne, follow the Mauriennaise to Pontamafrey. The vertiginous Montvernier hairpins, from where you can see climbers on the neighbouring via ferrata, form one of the most impressive roads in the Alps.
The tour follows the spectacular route of Montvernier and its 18 hairpin bends. The ascent continues to discover beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and through the hamlets of Montvernier. Then you go through a fine dizzy road before reaching the village of Montpascal.
