hi guys . for a change on-route going to one of our favorite Aires ( savines-le-lac ) bill said instead of going the route -de-Napoleon the N85 we would take the D1090 over the col-du-lautaret . the D1090 from grenoble-briancon was our first time but would not be the last hopefully . we don't but the route was a FLT'S dream all along the way without folk wanting to move you on especially at the summit . what a drive it was has to be the best yet & having had 7 m/h's we have been on many but i must say i nearly had to change my pants a few time ( i don't like heights ) . our dash cam footage is superb to re-watch this YouTube vid is going the opposite way to us & our trip was 2021 august about 34c. val

Our favourite way to get to Guillestre where we have spent a lot of time. One of the best places to holiday IMO. Hot in the day and cool at night in the Summer.

Needs snow

It is an amazing place in the Summer too. If you like climbing and walking with a bit of cycling, it’s hard to beat.

That road looks far too easy, here's one of ours.

A fabulous road on a motorbike.

We were there (Col De Lauteret) in July. Stayed a few nights and did some walking from there. Wonderful scenery and roads. One of our favourite stops this year!

NC500 is over rated, and we get slagged off for being there in lots of folks minds.

This pics look great, I wish Id done some of those places.......one day

Great spot. We've done it a couple of times when following the TdeF. The avatar photo was taken a couple of 100 metres up the road coming down off the Galibier.

It's a good slog cycling up from Briançon into a head wind!

Lovely views, and for an Alpine Pass not too demanding by the look of it.
What I would fear most are some of those "Balcony roads" in France, bad enough in a small car, great on a motorbike/pushbike, but no way in an A class unless you want to tear the roof & sides off it!
I have watched a few "you tube Vloggers" do some in their van conversions, I dont think somehow they would want to do them again, even though Google Earth may suggest they are OK if care is taken.

It was the road up to the parking for our hike up Mount Olympus in Greece.
