      The Col du Glandon is a French alpine pass. The 1924 meter high transition is located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (Savoie department). He joins Rochetaillée near Le Bourg-d'Oisans in the Romanche valley with La Chambre in the valley Maurienne. Opened in 1898, it was connected in 1912 to Col de la Croix de Fer, which is slightly higher and only 2.5 kilometers away and leads to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The Col du Glandon is passable between May and October. The ascent of La Chambre is equipped at intervals of one kilometer with special signs for cyclists.

        Beautiful but less popular climb so roads are usually a little quieter than alp d’huez or telegraph/galibier
