The Tour de France first passed over the Galibier on July 10, 1911, and on that day Émile Georget, the only rider to do so without setting foot on the ground, exclaimed to witnesses: "That'll put you in a corner", while calling the organizers "bandits" who dared to take the riders over this pass. Since then, it has become one of the most prestigious stages and has seen some of the biggest names take part. From the summit, you have a magnificent view of the Grand Galibier, the Pic Blanc du Galibier, the Glaciers de la Meije, Mont Viso and, on a clear day, Mont Blanc.

Valloire has 17 chapels, all along the valley, from the Télégraphe pass to Bonnenuit. Each hamlet had its own chapel, where, in May, we used to meet to honour the Virgin Mary, where we would celebrate the Saint's day, where the bell would ring the death knells... In their present state, the chapels date from the 17th century and later. The 17 chapels: Notre-Dame de la Vie in Les Trois Croix St Claude in Le Col Ste Marguerite in Les Granges St Benoît in Les Choseaux-ville St Blaise in l'Archaz Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel in Geneuil St Pierre sur le Rocher St Pierre Notre-Dame des neiges in Bonnenuit St Grat in Bonnenuit Ste Agathe in la Rivine St Claude in Les Verneys St Joseph in la Ruaz St Bernard in la Borgé Ste Madeleine in Poingt-Ravier St Thècle in Les Chaudannes (next to the campsite) St Jacques in Les Villards Notre-Dame du Bon Secours in Tigny The chapels can only be viewed from the outside, with the exception of the Notre Dame de Bon Secours chapel in Tigny, where the doors are occasionally opened by the association who maintain it for a view of the interior.

Culminating at an altitude of 1566m, the Col du Télégraphe took its name from the fort which was built there between 1885 and 1893. It dominates the Maurienne Valley, and in past centuries, it played a major defensive role, overlooking St Michel de Maurienne on one side and the military Galibier road on the other. Less well known than its neighbour, the Galibier, the Col du Télégraphe is still a considerable climb, as the cyclists who have completed it will tell you. Climbing the Col du Télégraphe from Saint Michel de Maurienne: Departure: 710m - Arrival: 1566, Length: 11.8km - Elevation 856m Average %: 7.3% - Maximum %: 9.7%

The fort is at a 10-minute walk from the Télégraphe mountain pass. It overlooks the Maurienne Valley and offers greats views on the Arc valley. It is open only in summer and with guides. Built between 1885 and 1893, Fort du Télégraphe stands on the site of one of the Chappe aerial telegraph relays on the imperial Paris-Milan line. Its polygonal, Séré de Rivières-style architecture is adapted to the site's spectacular relief. The fort also served as a command post (Battle of the Alps, June 10-25, 1940) during the Italian offensive in the Valloire-Valmeinier sector. The fort can be reached in 10 minutes from the Col du Télégraphe parking lot via a narrow road. The fort has around 50 steps to climb during the visit. Bring a little wool. Guided tours with Savoie Mont-Blanc Heritage Guides Summer: Visit and exhibition on Wednesdays and Thursdays (mornings, afternoons and evenings). Guided tours with FACIM summer: every Monday

Located a short distance from the pass at an altitude of 1570 m, above a sheer drop overlooking Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, the impressive Fort du Télégraphe owes its name to the Chappe signalling mast which was built on the site in the early 19th C. Just a stone's throw from the pass, at an altitude of 1,570 m, above a sheer cliff overlooking Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, the imposing Fort du Télégraphe owes its name to the presence of a Chappe telegraph signal tower built here in the early 19th century. Built between 1886 and 1890, the fort is the centerpiece of Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne's military stronghold. It bears witness to the militarization of the Alps in the late 19th century. On the site of a former Marshal de Berwick camp (18th century), then a Chappe telegraph station, the fort was built by the Armée des Alpes under General Berge in 1886-1890 to defend the Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne town square and the Col du Galibier road opened in 1891. Its Séré de Rivières-style architecture is spectacularly adapted to the terrain. The fort was reused in the active defense line of the Savoy fortified sector, the Maginot Line of the Alps, in 1940.

The Col d'Albanne is an Alpine pass located in the commune of Montrciher Albanne, at an altitude of 1,652 meters.
