Just head up the Maurienne to the Frejus Tunnel, into Italy, then back
across the Col de Montgenèvre assuming it's open, Briancon, then down to
Risoul.. 3 to 4 hours depending on conditions.

Anyone got any ideas for the shortest route between Val and Risoul?

Looks a bit mad when the Col de l'Iseran is closed (like all winter), so
maybe a foray into Italy might be on the cards...

Your recommendations, please.

Well yes, but 'Just head up the Maurienne' from val d'Isère is not
obvious. You'll need to go all the way past Albertville in the
Chambéry direction on the A430 before turning down towards the Frejus
on the A43.

Was feeling lazy, plus a quick look at the map really only shows a
couple of options.. in fact, depending on the road (col de Mongenevre -
took me hours to cross it once) I might go via Grenoble. All right at
this time of year though. In theory.
