Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne derailment
The Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne derailment of December 12, 1917, is the most serious railway accident in France’s history. The derailment of an overloaded train carrying nearly 1,000 French soldiers on leave returning from the Italian front, as the train descended the Maurienne valley rail line, caused a catastrophic crash and fire in which approximately 700 died. The accident occurred on the Culoz–Modane railway line, part of the Fréjus Railway.

Col du Télégraphe
Col du Télégraphe is a mountain pass in the French Alps situated above the Maurienne valley between the eastern end of the massif d'Arvan-Villards and the massif des Cerces. The pass links Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne to the north and Valloire to the south, as well as forming an access point to the col du Galibier via its north face. The route is often used during the ascent to Col du Galibier in the Tour de France, and is thus popular with cyclists.
