Villard-Reculas

Highlight • Other

Villard recedes is one of the smaller ski resorts that connects the resort of Alpe d'Huez. During the summer months you can pass through Villard Reculas on the climb to Pas de la Confession which takes you to Alpe d'Huez on a narrow road with spectacular views of the Oisans valley below.

Confession Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A relatively hidden gem, if you can call it that. The climb to Alpe d'Huez via Pas de la Confession is arguably more appealing than the main Alpe d'Huez climb, as the latter has a lot more traffic.
