Montvernier
Situated on a plateau 300 meters above the Maurienne valley, Montvernier's three hamlets enjoy breathtaking views of the valley, the Aiguilles d'Arves and the Grand Coin massif.
Description
To reach the village, one of the roads best known to cyclists as the "Lacets de Montvernier" winds its way through eighteen tight, winding bends supported by high stone walls.
It's a fast-paced sequence for a picturesque, vertiginous descent!
