Cluses to Taninges, French Alps

[timofleeds]

Hi, has anybody towed a caravan Cluses to Taninges, French Alps ? How was it, we have a twin axle 8ft wide caravan.

The road looks pretty steep with several wide hairpin bends. Having driven from Annacey to Chaminox, not towing. I don't think I would like to do that trip. Cluses to Taninges, although there are caravans at the site.
You might be better to go to Galliard and then the 907 to Taninges.
What are van and what are you towing with. ,?

Hi Hutch, thanks for your reply. Have you driven the route you suggest? We have a Lunar 686 towing with a 3.0ltr Discovery 5.

Not that route, but I towed a 1650 kg Coachman, with a 2014 SantaFe.

. But I took a very similar route would have been fine but at high local temps of 35 c, my SF was running out of breath. except that I was slowed down by a UK tourist that stopped my "Roll" with the van.
The route I suggested is only by looking at the map.. I made my mistake by not agreeing to my SatNav. .
I hope others can come back with information.

We eventually took the route suggested by Hutch, the D907. It was easy and no problem at all. The Cluses to Taninges route looked ok, just a couple of sharp bends, not very steep but not as easy as the the D907. Thanks Hutch.
