About Col de la Madeleine from Notre Dame de Briançon (Northern Approach)
Col de la Madeleine is among the most famous Tour de France climbs. It has been part of the Tour since 1969 and has since featured more than 24 times. The ride following the northern route is a must for all cyclists, a real bucket list ride. The climb is a challenging climb for sure. But the history and the beauty of this ride make every pedal stroke worth doing. It is a diverse climb with rivers, forest, hair-pins, villages, valleys, and open views of the stunning highlands. With a few plateaus and a small descent, the ride offers an ever-changing gradient that keeps the monotony away on this relatively long climb.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride… The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider’s breathing.
