My experiences are seriously out of date, over 20 years ago, but Mont Cenis from Susa is a long and relatively quiet climb. It gets a bit busier on the French side, but then it's quieter when you turn right at the bottom and head up the Iseran. The Iseran is mainly tourist traffic, but below Val d'Isere it can get quite busy. The Roselend is great, if you turn off on the descent by the lake you can go over the Col du Pre, which is narrow and twisty but very scenic. After Beaufort, the route via the Saisies and Aravis is great, with some spectacular views of Mont Blanc on clear days.

Need some route advice for France/Italy.
Planning a week trip around the alps, going over the border from Briancon to Sestriere then down towards Turin. Is the road up and down okay (in terms of traffic etc)?
On the way back into France, I'm planning Susa -> Mont Cenis -> Val d'Isere -> Cormet de Roselend then down to Annecy. This seem reasonable?
