Lake Chevril

Highlight • Lake

The Chevril Dam lake, or Tignes, is decorated with a very pretty statue by the Italian artist Livio Benedetti, named "The Lady of the Lake". The sculpture is located between the banks and the road, therefore easily accessible to be admired.

Another work of art is located on the dam itself and therefore more difficult to see. It is a gigantic wall fresco representing Hercules who seems to be holding back water by his sole force.

It is the highest French dam. It supplies two hydroelectric power stations.

Val d'Isère

Highlight • Settlement

Val-d'Isère is a picturesque little high mountain village nestled in the foothills of the Vanoise massif.

Long sidelined, the village experienced the development of skiing and its resort in the 1930s. Its ski area is now coupled with that of Tignes under the name "Espace Killy" or "Val-d'Isère Tignes".

In its historic center, the old stones and the slate roofs give the village all its authenticity. In the suburbs, the many hotels and restaurants testify to its economic development.

Located at 2770 meters above sea level, the Col d'Iseran is the highest European asphalt pass. There are magnificent views of Val-d'Isère and the Maurienne. Egan Bernal won his Tour de France 2019 with tremendous action at this summit.

It climbs very steeply below the red "Arcelle" ski slope. A 40% gradient that makes the rear wheel skid and the front wheel lift, leading to loss of control. But it's beautiful and not very busy. I then find the Iseran road 4 km from the Col.
The route starts at the Tufs TS (Val Claret), then the "Borsattack" and …
