Col du Glandon - Western Approach (La Marmotte, France) - Indoor Cycling Training
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- The western approach to Col du Glandon is an all-time classic. It is part of the world’s most famous Gran Fondo, the La Marmotte. But it has also been a part of the Tour de France many times. Its status as an all-time classic is deserved. The roads have little traffic and the scenery is spectacular. This is not the typical climb that just goes up and up. This climb has many descends and sections of flat. As a bonus, you get to ride next to two beautiful dams. The first segment has two flat sections with a climb up the dam in-between. In the next segment, you move into the big mountains with steeper gradients, beautiful views and nice descends. As you get to the last segment and the second dam, you can enjoy jaw-dropping views for the rest of the ride. The gradients are more moderate and you have one last descent before you get to the top.
You can find the entire route on Strava: / strava

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But when it comes to music, opinions are very mixed. This is why we have added no music and why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute RUclips and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, RUclips, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing.

Another beautiful ride!
have riding this a few times in real life, remember suffering in 34degres and little water left ....lol............... thanks for posting
Yes, it is a very difficult ride. Especially if it is hot. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Yet another firm favourite in the alps, thanks for the upload, that will play a few times during the winter months in my pain cave !
Awesome ride!
Wonderful! Thanks to this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
My favourite climb in th Alps so far, and I hope to ride it again next July. Thanks for this. And for those who don't know, just a couple of kilometres from this col is the Col du Croix de Fer with a very good cyclists' cafe!
Glad you enjoyed it! We plan to publish the ride to Col du Croix de Fer from both sides too :-)
My favourite as well
You need to slow the video down to give the effect of cycling the route not racing up it in a car
No worries, many like the pace of top strava riders. But you can alway slow down the speed in the lower right corner of RUclips. Or use our app Open Road.
Did this last week in 34 degrees. Certainly seemed a lot steeper than the 4% average it says on here 😢
On this ride you gain 1158 meter of elevation over 29010 meter. But average grade is not a precise metric for deciding if a ride is difficult or steep. You also have to take loss of elevation and segments of high steepness into account.
