The mythical Alpe d'Huez, a ski resort in winter, turns into a mecca for cycling in summer. It is one of the most famous climbs of the Tour de France with its 21 bends. There are several ways to climb to the station, either from Bourg d'Oisans, or by the Pas de la Confession, or from behind with the Col de Sarenne.

A great ride up here. However, you should bring your own food in autumn and spring. During my stay, not a single store was open and it had something of a ghost town.

Climbing the myth of Alpe d'Huez is magical but you have to be careful not to go into crisis, it is long and very hard! Once at the top you will be a King!
