Historic climb of the Tour de France, Alpe d'Huez is a ski resort in the French Alps. Its most famous side is the one starting from Bourg-d'Oisans, which features 21 hairpin bends. The fastest ascent time ever (36 minutes and 50 seconds) is believed to have been set by Marco Pantani during the 1995 Tour.

The place itself is not very nice and the alpine world is marked by ski tourism. But the climb is legendary. Here the very big in cycling won. The 21 bends are named after the winners here. In 2018, the Briton Geraint Thomas won here.
