Col de la Madeleine Sud par La Chambre

Video starts from La Chambre
The Col de la Madeleine has become one of the famous classic climbs in the French Alps. It climbs to an altitude of 1993m linking the Tarentaise Valley with the Maurienne Valley.
The modern road was opened in 1969 and featured in the Tour de France the same year. In total it has featured in the Tour de France over 20 times.
On both sides of the Col de la Madeleine mountain pass cycling milestones are placed every kilometre. They indicate the distance to the summit, the current height, and the average slope in the following kilometre. Such signposting for cyclists has become common in most major mountain passes in the French Pyrenees and Alps.
It's a great ride but it is challenging.

Climb distance :19.1 Km: Altimeters = 1463 Mtr, Slope: Max=11.7% Avg=7.7%
