You have tamed Alpe d'Huez, crossed the Galibier or conquered the Croix de Fer. Once the emotion of the summit has passed, how can you keep a tangible record of the feat? More and more cyclists are choosing a unique object: the 3D relief map of their pass, a faithful replica of the climbed terrain, to display at home like a true trophy.
What is a 3D relief map?
This is a three-dimensional topographic reproduction from the col, to scale: the valleys, slopes and summit are sculpted in relief, and the route of the climb is highlighted. Unlike a simple photo or a jersey, the 3D map restores the real-world geography of the climb — you can feel at your fingertips the hairpin bends and the gradients that made the legs suffer.
A meaningful souvenir for the cyclist
Every mountain pass has its personality, and the raised-relief map reveals it: the concentrated steepness of’Oz-en-Oisans, the long climb in altitude of the Galibier, or the 21 iconic bends of the’Alpe d'Huez. It's an object that tells a personal story, much more expressive than a standard trinket, and a wonderful trigger for memories with every glance.
Customise your card with your performance
The real plus is the personalisation: many cards can be engraved with your name, the date and your time. The map then becomes the sole trace of your climb — ideal after a challenge like the’Oisans Col Series or a Marmot finished. It is also a original gift for a passionate cyclist, surely different from anything they already own.
Where can you find the 3D map of your collar?
The legendary mountain passes of Oisans are available as a raised relief map on an oak base, made in France, at 3D Mountain : Alpe d'Huez, Cross of Iron, Galibier and others. And if your pass doesn't have its own dedicated map yet, a fully customised 3D map allows you to reproduce any climb from its GPX track — the very one you will find on each of our fact sheets.
