Beautiful view of the Ecrins. On the Col is a small restaurant Buvette du Granon with a sun terrace. Did you know that you can also cycle up or down the Granon unpaved?

The climb to the Col du Granon is demanding!
The road being closed to all motorized vehicles, the only people on the road and above went up on foot or by bike. This reduced the crowd (a little!).

The descent was a veritable procession of hundreds of cyclists behind the Jumbo-Visma car in which Vingegaard rode, impressive!
