レームノートルダムの峠・トップ20

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.

In Noasca the hardest part of the climb to Nivolet begins. Whether through the galleries or across the old road, the uphill section from Noasca to Ceserole Reale is the hardest area by far, with many ramps above 10%. For example, as soon as you leave Noasca, and going up a beautiful waterfall, there is a ramp that reaches 15% over 4 horseshoes. Show!

If the temperature allows it (in July it should be perfect) a dip in the lake is a fantastic emotion! The water is chilly (4 or 5°) but after the effort made to climb it gives a crazy charge!

Beginning of the challenging stretch towards Ceresole

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

Located at 2770 meters above sea level, the Col d'Iseran is the highest European asphalt pass. There are magnificent views of Val-d'Isère and the Maurienne. Egan Bernal won his Tour de France 2019 with tremendous action at this summit.

The Col de l'Iseran, which culminates at 2,764 meters above sea level, is the highest road pass in the Alps. Very popular with cyclists, it is also used by travelers on the GR 5. Surrounded by mountains, the pass takes on a picturesque appearance, especially during major sporting competitions such as the Tour de France. Perhaps you will cross the pass at the same time as the polka dot jersey?

the ascent begins from Noasca, the passage outside the tunnel before Ceresole must absolutely be done
