Rode this in June 2008 from Italy to Seez, which takes you over the Petite St Bernard Pass. The ride into France from Thule provides some great scenery at the top. As the road descends there are long sweeping curves at the top, the road then drops into the tree line and the hairpins start - long straights with tight hairpins which give you get an excellent view of oncoming traffic as you are above the switch back. Definitely worth riding this road, and at Seez, you can turn left onto the Route de grande Alpes / Val dIsere etc...
Dramatic Views and crazy technical switchbacks
