The Mauriennaise circuit
|
Difficulty
|
|
|
 This
route, quite frequented by local riders, provides a beautiful
loop on the valley floor, avoiding on most of the way the major
roads and steep climbs that are so characteristic of the valley.
Not physically demanding, this circuit is a good opportunity to
discover the villages of Maurienne.
A little history
Originally the valley floor was not used as a passageway because
of the fierce and feared floods of the Arc, which modified its
bed regularly, and the road to Italy used the valley flanks or
mountain sides when glacial rock barriers closed the valley floor.
The former route still exists and is used by many secondary roads.
