This road, which is carved into the sheer rock face, brings you up into the high mountains and ends at a picturesque village. A hairpin bend to the left, 8km away from Bourg-d'Oisans, brings into view the course of the lower Vallée du Vénéon, which ends at the Aiguille du Plat-de-la-Selle. In the foreground you will see the stream, which descends from the Villard-Notre-Dame glacier, cutting across the wild valley.
