Col de la Croix de Fer (2067m)
This pass has featured in the
Tour de France fifteen times
since its first pass in 1947. It can be climbed either way
from the north (as in the 2008 Tour de France) it is a 29.5
km climb or as most of our guests do from the south up
through Allemont approximately 40 km from our base at
Bourg d'Oisans (total
climb approximately 30km). The climb is never particularly
steep, the views are stunning and there is a great cafe at
the top to refuel before cycling on or returning to
Bourg d'Oisans.
For those guests who do not want to do the
complete 80km ride we can arrange a drop off and pick up at
Le Rivier d'Allemont and for the more energetic you can also
take in the Col du Glandon
and carry on round La Marmotte
route or return back to the Col de la Croix de Fer.
