Col du Galibier & Télégraphe

Pass is open

First the Télégraphe through the trees, then up past Valloire to the Galibier, where the treeline ends and only scree remains. A Tour de France classic, considerably more relaxed with an engine.

What you get out there

+Above the treeline it turns bare all at once
+Plenty of road cyclists in summer — leave room

Recommended gear

Summer jacket with membrane · rain gloves
