The Col du Galibier is one of the most iconic climbs in the Tour de France, renowned for its grueling difficulty and breathtaking scenery. Situated in the French Alps, the pass sits at an altitude of 2,642 meters (8,668 feet), making it one of the highest points ever reached in the Tour’s history. First introduced to the race in 1911, the Galibier quickly earned a legendary status among cyclists and fans alike.
The climb from the northern side, starting from Valloire, stretches over 18 kilometers with an average gradient of 6.9%, while the southern ascent from the Col du Lautaret is a bit shorter but no less challenging. The Galibier often plays a pivotal role in the Tour, acting as a decisive factor in the mountain stages, where riders must summon extraordinary endurance and skill to conquer its relentless slopes.
Throughout its history in the Tour de France, the Col du Galibier has witnessed many dramatic moments and heroic performances, shaping the race’s outcome and etching unforgettable memories in the annals of cycling. Its majestic, rugged landscape and the sheer physical demand it imposes continue to captivate and test the mettle of the world’s best cyclists, solidifying its place as a revered monument in the sport. #tourdefrance #galibier #coldugalibier #morethan21bends #alps #roadslikethese
The Lacets de Montvernier is a striking mountain road in the French Alps, renowned for its 18 tight hairpin bends that wind up the cliffside over a distance of just 3.4 kilometers. Completed in 1934, this engineering marvel connects the town of Pontamafrey-Montpascal with Montvernier. Its dramatic switchbacks have made it a favorite among cyclists and a highlight in the Tour de France and our More Than 21 Bends cycling tour.
