Col du Télégraphe

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It's essential to pass the Télégraphe test before tackling the Galibier. The name "Télégraphe" is strange, but the explanation for its name is quite simple: this mid-level pass, with an altitude of 1,565 meters, takes its name from the fort that was built there between 1885 and 1893. This fort no longer exists today. The Relais du Télégraphe will instead offer you refreshments, supplies, and meals.

Girodière Chairlift

Highlight • Structure

Nice to walk past those lifts outside the ski season
This 4-person fixed chairlift was built in 2006.
The distance between the valley station (at an altitude of 1501 m) and the mountain station (at an altitude of 1634 m) is 416 meters.
