This epic route takes you from Valloire, a charming Alpine village famous for its flowers and its spot at the foot of the Col du Galibier, all the way down to Guillestre, a relaxed gateway town close to the Parc National des 脡crins. You鈥檒l tackle a whopping 3994 meters of climbing and reach nose-tingling heights near 2634 meters鈥攕o get ready for big-mountain vibes!

Expect a mix of surfaces: a solid stretch of paved roads for speed, mixed in with some gravel and unpaved sections that鈥檒l keep things interesting and probably dustier than you'd think. It鈥檚 mostly quiet country roads, perfect for soaking in those wild Alpine views, but keep your wits about you on a few busier stretches.

After countless switchbacks and scenery straight out of a postcard, you鈥檒l roll into Guillestre, where you can refuel with local cheese or simply kick back by the River Guil. This is a ride for seasoned cyclists who love mountain challenges and ever-changing landscapes. Don鈥檛 forget your camera鈥攐r your climbing legs!
