The highest paved mountain pass in the Alps, at 2,764 m.
The D902 over the Col de l'Iseran links Val-d'Isère with Bonneval-sur-Arc across the highest paved pass in the Alps, climbing through bare, glacier-scoured high country to the cross at the summit. Open only in the warmer months; mind the altitude, the abrupt weather, and cyclists on the long climbs.
