Alpine passes have become world-famous with the regular passage of the Tour de France bike race. During the Tour, they ensure excitement and suspense... and are often decisive for the final ranking.

Many cyclists and tour bikers want to follow in the tracks of their favorite champion or to ascend one of the mythic passes, curve by curve, at their own rhythm, and enjoy a well-earned descent through sublime landscapes to boot!
