Hopefully I will be doing this next year. Just wondering how long it took? I`m planning in staying in Alpe D`Huez and note that you can do a loop that brings you back down via Sarenne - although that may be a bit far for an old git!
Dommage d’arriver au sommet et de ne pas avoir montré ... La Croix de Fer qui est juste en face du panneau, si désuète mais pourtant si belle pour tous les cyclistes 👍🚴🏻♂️
I climbed this in May, very accurate description of this beautiful climb, average gradient is very misleading !! but does anyone know what happened to the actual iron cross that was at the top of the climb ?? When I got to the top the cross was gone ?? If you watch Mike cotty video ( col collective ) climb it there was a big iron cross opposite the sign at the top of the climb ?? Anyone know ??
Apparently the iron cross at the summit was stolen, seriously! I couldn't believe it when I heard. I'd definitely chip in to get it replaced, it's such a reward to see after a long ascent like this. Ride safe, Mike Cotty
Ever since I rode that climb in Sep 2016, I've really badly wanted to return! What a lovely climb it is.
Fabulous climb, can't wait to ride it again.
Nice video. Great scenery that was complemented by the music and laid back commentary.
The video is very nice made!music and commentary.very very nice.
Great channel, amazing video!!!!!
Keep cycling guys ;-)
My son has just done the Braincon - Alpe D’Huez ride on Sunday 10th. I don’t know how he did it.
Nice video, rode it from the other side what was more beautiful to be honest.
So why does the map view at the start of the video show you starting with a descent from the top of the Oz ski station?? :)
makes me wanna go uphills.

I climbed this end of May and the Cross was in for repairs!
awesome
I did it, it was a verry hard klim..
Great video but such a copy of the Col Collective or should I say "inspired by" .
It's different, Col Collective guy never climbs seated
Simon Rano - Out of the saddle at 1:19 ! He needs Froomie-gearing!
