The Galibier marks the boundary between Savoie and Hautes Alpes. Easier to climb on the Briançon side and also shorter (8km)

riding the climb up the Col du Lautaret and heading inland like that can feel lonely. It's getting quieter. An impressive backdrop and even in June with snow-covered slopes.
