The Izoard pass

The Izoard pass is a mythical pass in the Alps, with a height of 2361 m. From Savines follow directions to Embrun, Guillestre, Arvieux then "Col de l'Izoard". Remember to stop in Arvieux for the cheese dairy and at the museum of cycling at the Izoard pass. If you plan to come back by Briançon, that trip will take you a whole day.
