Historic climb of the Tour de France, Alpe d'Huez is a ski resort in the French Alps. Its most famous side is the one starting from Bourg-d'Oisans, which features 21 hairpin bends. The fastest ascent time ever (36 minutes and 50 seconds) is believed to have been set by Marco Pantani during the 1995 Tour.

One of the most epic climbs I’ve ever done — a hidden paradise, not well known, unlike the more popular climbs. In my personal opinion, it’s a much more epic ascent than Alpe d’Huez. Highly recommended

Great alternative to the classic 21 bends of the Alpe. Longer, different and just as demanding climb in the end. The time of our tour (4h18) includes the breaks and the picnic at the pass (what a view!).

August 23, 2025,Tag 5: Alpe d'Huez - COL de Sarenne

The Galibier Col was the absolute challenge for us. But we never thought we could top it. Our overnight stop, Le Freney-d'Oisans, lies in a valley through which the Romanche River flows.
