Day 4: L’Alpe d’Huez – Jausiers
- Distance: 163km
- Elevation: 3495
- Key Climbs: Col d'Izoard, Col de Vars
The fourth day opens with some much appreciated flat as we follow the Val d’Oisans. The road then climbs athe Col du Lautaret followed by a gentle downhill run to the historic town of Briançon ensues. Between here and Jausiers lie the formidable twin obstacles of the Col d’Izoard and the Col de Vars. Another gruelling but amazing day on the bike.
La Fuga guide:
The Izoard is a stunning climb, gruelling and inspiring in equal measures. The intimidating rock pinnacles and barren scree slopes provide a unique backdrop as you approach the summit at almost 2400m.
