Biking up Col du Telegraphe
You leave the little town of St-Michel-de-Maurienne and right away you start climbing until you reach le Col du Telegraphe. In itself it is not a destination. Once you have reach the pass, you will go down 300-400 m to Valloire, an alpine village, then if you have legs left, you climb up the infamous Col du Galibier to 2645m. Priceless... A bike, a pair of legs, a good heart and set of lungs and lots of determination...
