It's true that it's not worth the iseran, but you have to get back to your accommodation, there's a bit of traffic, we're on a real pass, which has its difficulties, especially at the end of the route, beautiful viewpoint over the dam and then over lac de tignes.

C est sur que ça vaut pas l iseran, mais il faut bien rentrer à l hébergement, un peu de circulation, on est sur un vrai col, qui a sa difficulté surtout en fin de parcours, beau point de vue sur le barrage puis sur le lac de tignes
