Men have always tried to
climb mountains...
And the Iseran pass is one of the most famous mountain
passes in the Alps. This road that links the Tarentaise
and Maurienne valleys was inaugurated in 1937.
Since 1937, every May or June, the snow is cleared from
the road so that bicycles as well as motorcycles and cars
can use it...
The famous "Tour de France" has used the pass.
The "
Grandes Alpes route"
also goes through the pass.
