Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone happen to know roughly when the road from Lanslevillard to Val closes for the year (Before the big snow) or does it just depend on the snow fall at that time of the year.
Im planning on going Mid January and im curious if i can get to Val or if i have to go round.
Thanks in advance

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Esdel, it’s always closed in the winter, typically from the first proper snowfall which might be late October, early November; and not opening until June’ish.

Isn’t that road under the “Col” piste?

@Pejoli, yes, that's the one!

Col D'Iseran is probably the first road to close as it's one of the highest passes in Europe (at 2,770 m). Generally closed from October to May, and certainly from November to April.
And don't try the Madeleine either - it's a piste too!

If you're driving a dameuse you might take the col d'isère in mid January...
