        The final stretch of 8km at 6.5% of the southern slope of the Galibier, which starts from the Col du Lautaret itself. The road narrows considerably, the asphalt surface is rougher and there is usually a headwind in some sections of the climb. The last km, from where you pass the Henri Desgrange monument and the entrance to the Galibier tunnel, is the hardest on this southern slope since it has an average of 9% with peaks of 15%.
