A40 autoroute

Once you are in the van and on the road, the route itself is actually quite spectacular.

You leave Geneva, head south across the border, and hit the A40 motorway, the famous Autoroute Blanche.

You follow that down to Cluses, and that's where the flat road ends and the real mountain driving begins.

You start climbing up through Taniegem over Le Geay, down into the middle of Morzine, and then you've got the final pull up to Avoriaz.
