Tips
Le Galibier by the old road like the first riders of the Tour de France. Really wonderful to do. And redo.
Memory of cycling: The runners reached the Col du Galibier by climbing the old road, which is almost impassable today. This old, very difficult road started two kilometers down from the Lautaret pass towards Briançon, immediately to the left after the bridge over the Galibier torrent. The new road (D 902), was opened in 1938. The old refuge was built between 1870 and 1880. The new refuge dates from 1937.
Today this road is very pleasant to hike.translated by
