Col du Lautaret (2055m)

Somewhat dwarfed by it neighbour the Col du Galibier is still represents a fantastic climb up to 2055 metre and has been represented in the Tour de France on many occasions. This is the main road to Briançon so our guests either turn off here for the Galibier or continue down the other side of the Col du Lautaret for Briançon and the Col d'Izoard.

The round trip though La Grave and up the Lautaret is approximately 80km from Bourg d'Oisans. This route does take in some long tunnels so we offer an uplift service to either La Grave or Villar-d'Arêne as part of your stay. The return leg from the Col du Lautaret to Bourg d'Oisans feaures in La Marmotte Sportive before it turns up to climb Alpe d'Huez.
