Cormet de Roselend
D902D925Beaufort to Bourg-Saint-Maurice
The D902 climbs from Beaufort to 1,968 m, swings past the turquoise water of Lac de Roselend beneath the peaks and drops to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Narrow along the lake, and the cyclists come in numbers.
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.
