Join me as I take on one of the most breathtaking and challenging climbs in the Alpe d’Huez region of the French Alps—the ascent to Oulles from Le Bourg d’Oisans. This lesser-known route features 14 hairpin bends, stunning panoramic views, and an average gradient of 9.9%. It’s a tough but rewarding climb, with historical insights and a peaceful summit in the tiny village of Oulles. Whether you’re a cyclist or just love the beauty of the Alps, this hidden gem is worth the effort. Stick around for tips on tackling both the climb and the technical descent!
