La Marmotte

Ride the route of La Marmotte, the most famous cyclosportive event in the world that features four legendary Tour de France mountains. These videos combine all climbs of La Marmotte in to the finish on the Alpe d’Huez (1860m). To reach that mountain, you will have to conquer the Col du Glandon (1924m), the Col du Télégraphe (1556m) and the impressive Col du Galibier (2646m) and every descend and valley in between. Take the challenge and climb them one by one. La Marmotte was first held in 1982. Each year, 7000 amateur riders from all over the world participate in the race. Some winners later became famous professional riders, such as Laurent Brochard (1992), Patrice Halgand (1996) and Laurens ten Dam (2003).
