During these 15 km, take care when crossing the Grand Clos and Chambon tunnels. The tunnels are poorly lit, so remember to make yourself visible to other vehicles.

    At the Chambon dam, after crossing the dam, turn left towards Les Deux Alpes. Follow the main road up for about 8 km.

    Once in Les Deux Alpes, enter the resort and take Avenue de la Muzelle for about 2 km.
