Culminating at an altitude of 2,642 meters, the Col du Galibier connects Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne to Briançon via the Col du Télégraphe and the Col du Lautaret. The first passage of the Tour de France over the Galibier took place on July 10, 1911, at the initiative of Henri Desgrange, founder of the Tour. Since then, this pass has become legendary. The riders who set out to conquer the pass at the time were nicknamed "convicts of the road." Not all of them made it to the finish. I'm sure you'll be able to meet this daunting challenge. The road is now as smooth as a billiard table, and you have a very good derailleur.

The Galibier is a classic that you simply have to put on your to-do list if you are an ambitious racing cyclist. Apart from that, the Alps present themselves from their most beautiful side here, the barren landscape and the view in the upper part will impress you.
