Much less known and traveled than the climb to the Col du Télégraphe which is located just opposite on the other side of the valley, this route is no less as beautiful and rough ... with the added peace of mind!

Col du Télégraphe

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It's essential to pass the Télégraphe test before tackling the Galibier. The name "Télégraphe" is strange, but the explanation for its name is quite simple: this mid-level pass, with an altitude of 1,565 meters, takes its name from the fort that was built there between 1885 and 1893. This fort no longer exists today. The Relais du Télégraphe will instead offer you refreshments, supplies, and meals.
