Modane — A43 entrance to the Fréjus Tunnel
Modane - A43 entrée du Tunnel du Fréjus
🇫🇷 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes · France
Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDRoad
This live camera watches the approach to the Fréjus Tunnel on the A43 motorway at Modane, in the Maurienne valley of the French Alps. It is useful for anyone planning to cross between France and Italy by road and wanting to see how traffic is flowing before setting off. The page also shows local time and current weather for Modane.
About Modane and the valley
Modane sits in the Maurienne valley, a long glacial trough that runs north to south in Savoie and leads toward the Italian border. The town grew around the railway and the road routes over the Alps, and the Fréjus Tunnel, one of the historic crossings between France and Italy, has shaped its character for well over a century. Steep wooded slopes and high peaks frame the valley, and the Arc river runs alongside the roads.
What the camera shows and when to watch
The camera is aimed at the traffic entrance to the tunnel, so its title points to vehicles entering the A43 approach rather than a wider scenic view. Traffic tends to build at weekends and during school holiday departures, and winter weather can change conditions quickly on the mountain roads. Checking the live view shortly before a journey gives a better sense of congestion than any fixed schedule.
Practical notes for travellers
Modane has a continental mountain climate, with cold snowy winters suited to skiing and warmer summers for walking. The A43 is a toll motorway and the tunnel is subject to its own traffic rules and occasional closures, so check current conditions before you travel. Nearby cameras on the same route include Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne on the A43 approach, Valloire and Les Menuires for mountain weather.
