Here, it's known as the "scenic route". It's a lovely, quiet, clean road, with a delightful view over the valley. It also has the advantage of allowing us to avoid the busy D1006. There's not too much traffic on this D215 or route du Bourget. Beautiful views of the fortresses and fairly gentle gradients. In my opinion, it's the best way to get close to Iseran and Mont Cenis.... read more

Ici, on l’appelle la « route panoramique ». C’est effectivement une jolie route calme et propre qui surplombe délicieusement la vallée.
Elle a aussi l’avantage de nous faire éviter la D1006 très fréquentée.
Sur cette D215 ou route du Bourget, pas trop de circulation. De belles vues sur les forteresses et des pourcentages assez doux. Le meilleur chemin, selon moi, pour se rapprocher de l’Iseran et du Mont Cenis.

Done after the climb to l'Orgère, so at the end of the morning it was starting to get a bit hot...
Easy ascent on a nice road with no real charm, even though there were panoramic views over the other side of the valley.
Then I continued up to the dam above the village, where it got harder (I was really starting to suffer from the heat and was running out of juice...).

Fait après la montée de l'Orgère, donc en fin de matinée il commençait à faire un peu chaud...
Montée facile sur belle route sans véritable charme même si panorama sur l'autre versant de la vallée.
Ensuite j'ai poursuivi jusqu'au barrage au dessus du village et là c'est plus dur (je commençais vraiment à souffrir du chaud et je manquais de jus...)

A pleasant climb which is almost 500m if one starts from the centre of Modane - near the « « Greek «  temple. We did the climb in early June - a great time for wildflowers.

nice steady climb (good for a rest day!) on wide road overlooking Modane to Aussois, new-ish estate. worthwhile visiting for views at top near entrance to the fort Marie- Christine. unfortunately road descent down the hairpins was shut (D215F).
