The Rampe de Laffrey (sometimes called the descente de Laffrey or the côte de Laffrey) is a section of France's Route nationale 85, today called the Route Napoléon, located in the department of Isère between the communes of Laffrey and Vizille, about fifteen kilometers southeast of Grenoble. It is an extremely steep section of road, known for the high number of fatal automobile accidents which occur along its route; four of these, in 1946, 1973, 1975, and 2007, are counted among the deadliest in French history.
