Iconic Climbs

Alpe d’Huez, French AlpsFranceHors Catégorie

Alpe d’Huez

Twenty one hairpins, a balcony road above Bourg d’Oisans and a name that every cyclist already knows before they ever ride it. Alpe d’Huez is not the longest climb in the Alps, but it might be the one that feels most like stepping onto cycling’s main stage.

French Alps
Col du Tourmalet · West Side, PyreneesFranceHors Catégorie

Col du Tourmalet · West Side

The Tourmalet is the Pyrenean giant with a long memory. From Luz Saint Sauveur, it builds patiently at first, then slowly tightens its grip as the road climbs towards one of cycling’s most storied summits.

Pyrenees
Sa Calobra, MallorcaSpainVery Challenging

Sa Calobra

Sa Calobra is Mallorca’s postcard climb with a sting in the tail. The road drops you to the sea first, then asks you to climb back out through twenty six hairpins and the famous Nus de sa Corbata.

Mallorca
Passo Stelvio, Italian AlpsItalyHors Catégorie

Passo Stelvio

Passo Stelvio is one of cycling’s grand set pieces. With up to 48 hairpins and around 1,800 metres of climbing, it is not just a road over a mountain. It is a full day written in switchbacks.
