Altiport de l'Alpe d'Huez from Gorges de Sarenne

The Route rises 3.2km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 119m to 1,872m. The average gradient of 3.7% disguises ramps of 8.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,872m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Rhone-Alpes, France.
