Lautaret Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Lautaret is the last climb before heading to the summit of the Col du Galibier. The Lautaret route can be quite busy; the best day to ride is Sunday, when heavy goods vehicles are banned.

July 1, 2024,Streckenkontrolle: Col du Lautaret

Quick route check: The day before the TdF I checked the situation at the Col du Lautaret. There is already a lot going on here, many mobile homes have to park far from the actual route. The first picture (I can't change the order) shows my bike on May 20, 2014 at the top of the pass.
