Col du Galibier
- Waymarking:
- black/white
- Network:
- local
- Route:
- Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne → Col du Galibier
Un col de légende qu'ambitionnent tous les cyclogrimpeurs d'Europe ! On peut n'entreprendre que la seconde partie, depuis Valloire, avec le même spectacle époustouflant au sommet, entre les parcs nationaux de la Vanoise et des Ecrins !
Col du Télégraphe
- Waymarking:
- red/white
- Network:
- local
- Route:
- Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne → Col du Télégraphe
Considéré souvent comme faisant partie de la montée au Galibier, le Télégraphe a son propre intérêt, fait de nombreux lacets entièrement ombragés, avec des pentes soutenues et très régulières comprises entre 8 et 10 %.

Before you go
Check the trail after rain: mud and loose rock change a route. Helmet always, brakes checked before descending, and lights if you might run late. Give way to walkers and to riders climbing.
There is not always phone coverage in the mountains: download the map before you go, tell someone your plan and call 112 in any emergency. These data come from OpenStreetMap and the weather forecast; confirm with the resort and official sources.
