Description

This video takes an alternative climb to the famous Alpe d'Huez, much nicer and quieter than the 'standard' road. The climb starts at the Lac du Verney and goes through the forest up to the Pas de Confession (around km 13) and then joins 1-2 km later the standard road from Bourg d'Oisans. The 'balcony road' between kms 10-14 is really beautiful!! All together a very tough climb, great for well-trained people. Nice views and sunny conditions. Good luck and enjoy!!
