Arvieux

Arvieux straddles the Torrent d’Arvieux in the Queyras area of the French Alps, and its valley position has long made it a stopping point on the ascent toward the Col d’Izoard. The commune belongs to Queyras Regional Natural Park, a high-mountain territory of larch woodland, pastures and sharply rising slopes. From the hamlet of Brunissard, the road climbs to the 2,361-metre Izoard pass, linking Queyras with the Briançonnais; its upper section runs beneath the eroded rock pinnacles of the Casse Déserte. The pass is a familiar name in Tour de France history, giving Arvieux a distinct place in Alpine cycling culture.
