ラ・モルトの峠・トップ12

Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Solude starting from Le Bourg-d'Oisans.

Pass above Villard-Reymond. Be careful, turn left just before entering the village! This officially listed but little-known pass offers a breathtaking view of the 21 bends of Alpe d'Huez!!! Not to be missed!

One of my favourite climbs in the area. There are four short unlit tunnels 1km out of Bourg on the start of the climb and they're quite poorly surfaced, especially the final one, so it's best to do this one with a decent set of lights. Lot of people stop and turn around at the village of Villard Notre Dam when the tarmac stops but if you keep going, I think the gravel section is the best bit - it's about 2.5km long to the top and it's do-able on a road bike - and if you're lucky you might see a marmot or two, especially if you ride it in the morning. Once you start to descend it's worth a detour to the cafe in Villard Reymond - the L'Eau Blanche.

victory of Lance Armstrong in a time trial it seems to me

Superb hike! Watch out for the fox, several tents have been visited by a fox looking for food (he takes trash bags and trash...) he has also broken tents, not far from the refuge next to Robert Lakes

The Col d'Ornon, perched at 1,371 meters above sea level in the French Alps, is a captivating mountain pass offering spectacular views. Famous for cycling and hiking, its winding roads and trails invite adventure.

Traffic-calmed climb without extreme gradients. Fun to do from both sides.

There are two sides to the Col d'Ornon. From La Paute, the climb is 11.2 km long with a total drop of 649 m. The average gradient is 5.8% with maximum gradients of 9%. From the Pont du Prêtre the climb is much longer. It is 21.9 km long with a total drop of 757 m. The average gradient is 3.2% with maximum gradients of 8%.
