This route is much less well known and less frequently cycled than the Col du Télégraphe, just opposite, on the other side of the valley, but it is just as beautiful and just as steep... And the road is much quieter!

A magnificent panorama awaits you at the Col de Beau-Plan (view of the Aiguilles d'Arves, Croix des Têtes, Crey du Quart, Les Karellis, Valmeinier). Road conditions on this route are good, and traffic is low. There are a number of stopping points, including water in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, and refreshment points in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, Le Thyl and Saint-Martin-la-Porte. The nearest repair point is in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.

Tips
While you're in the area, take a look at Espace Alu, a museum dedicated to aluminum, in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne. The museum has been awarded the "Qualité Cyclo Maurienne" label, which means it has a secure parking area for bicycles (padlocks are available from the museum reception desk).
