Lautaret Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Lautaret is the last climb before heading to the summit of the Col du Galibier. The Lautaret route can be quite busy; the best day to ride is Sunday, when heavy goods vehicles are banned.

As you ascend it's hard to take in the full scenery, but the views on the way down are absolutely breathtaking. Forget the Strava Kom (it's already taken by the pros anyway) and pause for a photo!

Legendary pass and one of the most famous climbs of the Tour de France. Here you are not far from the Galibier refuge, at almost 2560 meters, where you can take a short refreshment break, and admire the view of the Serre Chevalier valley.

Col du Galibier

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Reaching an altitude of 2,642 meters, the Galibier Pass connects Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne to Briançon via the Télégraphe and Lautaret Passes. The Tour de France first crossed the Galibier on July 10, 1911, at the initiative of Henri Desgrange, the Tour's founder. Since then, this pass has become legendary. The riders who set out to conquer the pass back then were nicknamed "convicts of the road." Not all of them made it to the top. I'm sure you'll be able to meet this formidable challenge. The road is now as smooth as a billiard table, and you have a very good derailleur.

A dream becomes true! We actually wanted to drive from Briançon to the Galibier, but since the road is so busy, we decided against it and drove from the Lautaret. Alarm set at 5:30 a.m. and started at Lautaret shortly after 7:00 a.m. And you should, you have almost no cars and especially no motorcycles! From around 10 a.m. they …
