A sublime road past a turquoise mountain lake.
The D902 over the Cormet de Roselend at 1,968 m links Beaufort and Bourg-Saint-Maurice, sweeping past the turquoise Lac de Roselend beneath the peaks. One of the most beautiful roads in the French Alps; mind the cyclists, the narrow lakeside stretches, and the gradient.
