A great alternative to this legendary flight. The difficulty between the two routes is similar but there are far fewer people on this route. The scenery is more beautiful here for me.

A very nice, fairly linear climb with some hairpins at the end. Lots of traffic.

Spectacular mountain pass. There is a lot of traffic of cars and cyclists. Incredible scenery and a bar at the top of the pass where you can have a bite to eat or a coffee. A mythical French pass.
