Gran San Bernardo - Col de la Forclaz - Colle dell'Iseran

596  km.

         A really exaggerated turn but that he has been worth really the punishment for the typical visited places.  

        The usual monotony of the highway until to Aosta and then above for the wide curves that bring you toward the Big St. Bernard: on Sundays are stupendous and the time shows us a blue sky and the mountains in every particular!  

        We salt up to the entrance of the tunnel where there we stop for the breakfast and a height of fuel (we will reach Susa without having to stop us other directed to supply); left again we face the slope to the I pass under perfect conditions: I practically traffic void and the beautiful and dry asphalt.  

        Passed the border we go down in Switzerland finding a beautiful asphalt but in some lines patched up, her road is joined with the exit of the tunnel and there he forces to long lines in gallery, removing from us her view of the mountains; we reach the fund valley in the country of Orsieres where we proceed for Martigny.  

        Arriving in proximity of the city we are welcomed from many and taken care of vineyards drawn by every possible terrazzamento of the surrounding mountains, the proverbial care and Swiss precision does him really to see!  

        Before entering city we divert to the left for the hill of the Forclaz that we quickly reach through one amusing road with beautiful curves and beautiful asphalt: arrived down immediately in top a brief standstill and then in a narrow canyon what it will bring us to the French border.  

        Have entered the valley of Chamonix and immediately notice the presence of the thick one of the Bianco that overhangs us! from the hill des Montes we have a' good sight on the glaciers and on the game steeples of the Aiguilles des Montets, continues toward the chief town the valley going down slowly gazing the grandeur of the mountains up to find the extreme one, language of the Bianco that stops him few meters above Chamonix.  

        Some photos of rigor and then street, overcomes the entry of the tunnel and begins to go down for the valley up to the characteristic center of St. Gervais, till now the beautiful but tortuous road has allowed us a beautiful view on the ample one I found French valley, instead we take now the national 212 that it quickly brings us through thin Megeve to the country of Flumet, where we abandon him and we start over climbing.  

        The road does him beautiful and animated: beautiful curves with an asphalt parish priest that they bring us up to the with the des Saisies where the mountains open in vast basins disseminated of fittingses of gone up again. Photo and street, go down looking for an area equipped for the lunch that we punctually find to the doors of Beaufort, this descent has been more "calm" in how much the asphalt is patched and ruined.  

        After a small rest we leave again and we cross narrow curves that makes us climb a narrow valley that it emerges on the imposing Barrage de Roselend, a really beautiful artificial lake; the road now climbs him and climbs another terrace from where then a vast plateau opens punctuated by alpeggi that it is the Cormet de Roselend.  

        We start over going down toward the town of Bourg St. Maurice, the road is beautiful and amusing with beautiful curves and wide and we meet you quite a lot bikers, thin to arrive in the city from where we take the road for the val of Isere what after the hill it will finally bring us in Italy.
