Stage 3 - Tuesday 26, 2025
Tignes to Serre Chevalier Vallée
158 KM and 3500 meters of elevation gain. Some of the most famous cycling climbs in the world await ... Col de L'Iseran, Col du Télégraphe and finally the majestic Col du Galibier.
During the 1911 Tour de France, Gustave Garrigou, who was leading, faced a tough climb and made a famous remark about the Galibier, noting that "it’s not a climb, it’s a mountain!" This phrase has since become a part of cycling lore, encapsulating the challenge of this legendary ascent.
