It's magnificent. I did it after climbing to Alpe d'Huez and found this section so much more pleasant. I think the Alpe climb from Allemont is less well known but more interesting.... read more

C’est magnifique. Je l’ai fait après être monté à l’Alpe d’Huez et j’ai trouvé cette portion tellement plus agréable. Je pense que la montée de l’Alpe en partant d’Allemont est moins connue mais plus intéressante.

Stunningly beautiful views are the reward. This is really recommended to do after climbing Alpe D'Hueze.

Prachtig mooi uitzicht is de beloning. Dit is echt een aanrader om te doen na de beklimming van Alpe D'Hueze.
