Description

Another beautiful col in the French Alps at the border with Italy. The climb is pretty long but not steep, most of the road is at 1-4% gradient, only increasing to 6% in the last 10 minutes. The video starts in Briançon close to the 'Fort du Chateau' and finishes at the Col de l'Echelle at 1763 m altitude. You can also make a nice interval training by going full out on the 6 short 'yellow coloured sections' and finally give it all in the last 2 km. Enjoy!!
