Course

Ontdek de routes van Climbing for Life 2025 waar wandelaars, fietsers en trailrunners zich kunnen uitleven op uitdagende parcours.

Vanaf het moment dat je aankomt op Alpe d’Huez, blijft de wagen aan de kant en begint het echte avontuur! Alle routes en trails starten en eindigen op deze iconische berg, bekend van de Tour de France.

Dit is jouw kans om grenzen te verleggen en te genieten van een sportief avontuur in een van de mooiste berglandschappen van Europa.

BIKE 🚴

On Friday, you can warm up with an exploration of the region via Lac du Verney and the first climb towards Alpe d’Huez taking the beautiful Pas de la Confession. If you can handle more, you can opt for a diversion via the Col de Sarenne or an ‘all-in’ via Lac du Verney and Col de Sarenne.

Saturday of course features at its core the climb of Alpe d’Huez and its 21 turns from Bourg d’Oisans: conquering the Alpine pass from the Tour de France where so many epic duels were fought in the past and thousands of cycling fans cheered their heroes towards the summit.

If you still have some extra energy left in your legs, we recommend you definitely also add the beautiful climbs along the Balcons de l’Oisans and Col du Sabot (Vaujany).
