Col du Glandon

The Col du Glandon is one of the most beautiful climbs in the French Alps. From the tree-lined start to the open-top hairpin heaven finish, it's quiet, peaceful, and gets you so close to nature you can taste it. Once over the top, you have the added bonus as it meets up with the Col de la Croix de Fer in a cycling paradise on what feels like the roof of the world.  
Don’t let anyone tell you not to do this, not to go. But don’t think this is something easy. The Glandon keeps almost all of its power dry until the final few kilometres, which are as tough as anywhere in the Alps.
