August 31, 2024,Luz St. Sauveur - Cirque du Troumouse

This route starts from Luz St. Sauveur, the nerve centre of European cycling, and goes to the Cirque du Troumouse, one of the largest glacial cirques in Europe. It ends at an altitude of almost 2,100 m. Although it gets quite difficult in the last 3 km, it is absolutely recommended. The views of the cirque are spectacular.
