Moncenisio monument, ideal for a souvenir photo

Challenging climb due to slopes and altitude. The most challenging part is the one between the two plateaus, it is worth saving money because the slope is there and after the second plateau the altitude also adds up. But the landscape is wonderful, especially in June, when it has just been cleared of snow and you can still cycle between the white walls.

The Mont Cenis hill connects the Susa valley, Italy, with the Maurienne, France. The pass, located at an altitude of 2,085 metres, is located entirely on French soil. Near Mont Cenis there is a pyramid that houses a museum, where it is possible to appreciate the history of this famous Alpine pass.

Mineral and wild landscapes. Two welcome flats. Do not neglect the altitude (2700m)

Short and convenient climb from Lanslebourg. Wide road and cycle lane. Most road traffic uses the Fréjus Tunnel, leaving only 'tourist' traffic.

Mont Cenis is one of the most important historic passes in the Alps. In fact, Hannibal probably passed through Mont Cenis with his elephants in 218 BC. Well also, Napoleon made Mont Cenis the first motorable road in the Alps.

The Col de la Madeleine from Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis is 6.7 kilometers long with a total elevation gain of 347 meters. The average gradient is 5.2% with maximum gradients of 10%. It connects Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis with Bonneval-sur-Arc.

Excellent point to leave the car and set off for the various MTB rides that can be done in all directions
