Description

The Col du Glandon starting from La Chambre in the Maurienne valley is a tough climb, about 20 kms long and 1400 m elevation gain. So an average slope of 7% but many parts are between 8-10%. The col was more than 15 times part of a Tour de France stage and categorised as HC (Hors Catégorie). A great video for a rainy or cold weekend! Good luck and enjoy!!
