Description

Conquer part of the legendary Ultra Raid de la Meije race. This high-flying route will take you past high altitude lakes and high mountain landscapes. Mythical passes and exceptional terrain await you.
Benefits of this itinerary: high altitude lakes, view of the Meije glacier, passage along the old Galibier route, arrival at the top of the Col du Galibier. Unless you're in excellent physical condition, we strongly recommend that you bring two batteries for your bike. Medium physical difficulty due to its length and difference in altitude, the outward journey is all uphill.
