Fourneaux

Few communities in the Maurienne Valley have a history as closely tied to Alpine rail transport as Fourneaux. Set beside the Arc River in a narrow Savoyard valley, the commune lies close to Modane and the main route through the French Alps toward Italy. The Fréjus Rail Tunnel, opened in 1871, has its French portal in nearby Modane and remains a major cross-border connection to Bardonecchia. Fourneaux retains the character of a compact mountain settlement shaped by this strategic corridor. Browse other webcams across the Maurienne Valley to place Fourneaux in a wider Alpine context.
