The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High-altitude parking spot (2750 m) beside a small lake with stunning views of Grand Sassière. Spacious, flat area with pristine dry toilets nearby. Located on the busy Iseran pass road but minimal night traffic. Exceptional alpine experience with marmots, though very cold nights, windy, and landscape marred by ski lift pylons and snow-making infrastructure.
Highlights
- Stunning alpine views and spectacular location
- Very clean and well-maintained dry toilets
- Flat and spacious parking, little nighttime traffic.
- Local wildlife (marmots)
Good to know
- Extreme nighttime cold (as low as 3°C in summer)
- Heavy noise and visual pollution during the day (very busy iconic road)
- Scenery spoiled by ski facilities (pylons, water reservoirs)
- Notable winds near the pass
Motorhome access : Flat and spacious parking, good motorhome access, easy maneuvers
