Welcome to the cutting-edge of uphill cycling
and world's most famous ascents of each of the continents
Col du Glandon - Col du Telegraph - Col du Galibier - Alpe d'Huez
The French cycling classic via distinguished passes of Tour de France. As Col de la Croix de Fer was still closed on the descent to St. Jean de Maurienne, route of La Marmotte led also in 2007 via Col du Glandon and afterwards to Col du Galibier and finally - when at the end of any power - up to famous Alpe d'Huez! The course has approx. 182km and almost 5,000m of altitude difference.
