Route de Napoleon (or maybe not) off road bit with tunnel

[richie]

I saw it on here last year and can't find it again. Any town name or coordinates, I fancy cycling some of it

I have searched to no avail.

Cheers

Think you’re mixing it up with the RDGA but I can’t remember which “Col” it’s on, the route Napoleon is just normal roads

You could well be right, it was a route that included off road sections to be undertaken by appropriate vehicles and included some long tunnels.

Met some nuns exactly there. Which was weird.

I was on an unpaved Col in that region a few years back......although I don't remember a tunnel.

A friend of mine trecked up to the base camp of Everest, where he met a party of nuns from Croydon.

Thats because you were on the Strada dell Assietta dropping down to Susa, Italy. The tunnel is in France.

The nearest town is Embrun, then follow signs to Crevoux to the East of the town, once at Crevoux follow signs for La Chalp and once there the road becomes a track to the Tunnel.

Just to confuse things..........

That’s funny, my directions got me to the track several times but maybe not by the shortest route it would seem
