Transfers By car
Whichever direction you are driving from, you will need to get on the motorway A43 and exit at St Michel de Maurienne which is 17 kms from Valloire. Take the D 902 which is a long winding road up to the Col du Télégraphe, one of the most gruelling classic climbs of the Tour de France. When snow is forecast, the local gendarmerie make camp at the base of the mountain and check that every car has snow chains and winter tyres - without these, you will not be allowed up.
