The RN 6 then follows the Isère valley Northeast for 11 km before crossing the river and taking the Arc valley to the South alongside the A 43 and a railway line. The valley passes between the chaîne des Hurlières (1707 m) and the chaîne de la Lauzière (2829 m). The road continues south along the valley past Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and skirting the Southern edge of the Massif de la Vanoise. At Orelle a cable car grants access to the Les Trois Vallées Ski system with the Cîme de Caron rising to 3198 m and covered in glaciers. To the South is the resort of Valloire and the RD 902 which passes over the Col du Galibier (2646 m). The road now is part of the Route des Grandes Alps.
