The TT starts and ends in Villard de Lans (France) and takes you along the following passes and mountain roads:Passes and mountain roads: Col de Gaudissart (840 m), Col de la Machine (1011 m), Col de la Portette (1175 m), Col de la Bataille (1313 m), Col de Bacchus (980 m), Col de la Croix (745 m), Col de Marignac (743 m), Col de Rousset (1245 m), Col de St.-Alexis (1227 m), Col de la Chau (1337 m), Col de Carri (1202 m)
Specifics route:
- Winter closures: There are no fixed winter closures for the named passes. Nevertheless, you have to take closures into account in winter, especially on passes higher than 1000 m.
- Ideal months: Late April to mid-July, late August to mid-November. August is the holiday month in France, which is something to keep in mind.
- Driving pleasure: The gorge road through the Gorges de la Bourne and the road to Combe Laval. Basically all roads carved into the rocks.
- Landscape: Combe Laval, a road carved into the rock between the Col de Gaudissart passes in the north and the Col de la Machine in the south; the gorges Gorges da la Bourne and Grands Goulets; the rocky village of Pont-en-Royan and the Caves of Brudour.
This 5 star route is one of the 24 most beautiful Alpine routes in recent years!
