Four of the Alps' most storied climbs in one ride: Glandon, Télégraphe, Galibier, and Alpe d'Huez's 21 hairpins. Over 5,000m of climbing — about as close as it gets to the sport's absolute limit.
- Four famous Alpine climbs strung together into a single day that tests everything a cyclist has. - Col du Glandon: a long, punishing opener, done before the legs are properly warm - Col du Télégraphe: exposed, relentless switchbacks that set up the real work ahead - Col du Galibier: the high point of the day, above 2,600m, with views that make the suffering worth it - Alpe d'Huez: 21 numbered hairpins to finish, arguably the most famous climb in road cycling - The route is best tackled from Bourg d'Oisans, a lively cycling hub packed with great cafés, restaurants, bike shops, and an atmosphere that revolves around legendary Alpine climbs - This exact route forms the course of La Marmotte, one of the most iconic gran fondos in the world - Ride all four back to back and you'll understand why this route sits at the very top of what's possible on a bike.
