- Brief description
-
This other variant of the main route is an alternative that avoids the passage through Val d'Isère and Haute-Maurienne, useful for those who want to make the Route des Grandes Alpes when Col de l'Iseran is still closed and to offer another incredible alpine pass, Col de la Madeleine.

The museum of folk tradition in Moutiers, if there is a museum to do on the Route des Grandes Alpes, it is this one! Focused on the rural civilization of Tarentaise, the art and the Alpine traditions, this cultural place proposes through 8 rooms an interesting staging to go back in time, before going up the slope!
