As you ascend it's hard to take in the full scenery, but the views on the way down are absolutely breathtaking. Forget the Strava Kom (it's already taken by the pros anyway) and pause for a photo!

grandiose rise, as a starter the Col du Telegraphe or the Lauteret, so you have to drive at least 2 passes here if you want to get to the highest point
