Most of this climb is in the cool shade of the trees. The gradient eases slightly after the first few kilometres but the slope remains quite steep all the way to the pass and its superb view of the Fort du Télégraphe.

Description

The Col du Télégraphe is usually climbed before the Col du Galibier. Nevertheless, it can be used as a training run before tackling the slopes of the legendary Galibier.
It has been climbed 34 times by Tour de France riders since 1947.

The road is in excellent condition, but is nevertheless very busy.
