Autumn Road Trip to Italy: Conquer the Mont-Blanc Tunnel Closure

Attention, travelers! The iconic Mont-Blanc Tunnel, connecting France and Italy, will be closed for a major renovation from September 2 to December 16.

Don't worry, though! You can still drive between the two countries via alternative routes, including the Fréjus Tunnel, Tunnel du Grand-Saint-Bernard, Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard, Col des Montets, and Montgenèvre Pass.

The Mont-Blanc Tunnel, opened in 1965, is the world's second deepest tunnel and a vital link between France and Italy. The closure will allow for essential structural work on the vault.

While the closure may add some time to your journey, it's a necessary step to ensure the safety and longevity of this iconic tunnel. Plan your road trip accordingly and enjoy the stunning scenery along the way!
