Route des Grandes Alpes à vélo, étape 6, Val d'Isère / Val-Cenis

The ride

Here's a ride that packs 48.4 km and 1196 m of climbing into a fully paved route — 100% paved, 0% unpaved, so your tyres stay on tarmac the whole way. Along the route you'll pass the Col de l'Iseran and the Col de la Madeleine, two climbs that give the day its shape. Short in distance, big in elevation: that's the trade this loop makes. Come ride it and see how the numbers feel under your wheels.
