Very long and steady on both sides, the climb up the Col du Lautaret is a challenge, especially for the mind. It was first tackled in the Tour de France in 1950. At the summit of the Lautaret, you can decide to turn left on the top and climb towards the Galibier.
You ride up the Lautaret on wide, well-surfaced road with traffic, because this is an active mountain pass open to cars and trucks.
