Mont Ventoux

The legendary Mont Ventoux (1.909 m), the 'Giant of la Provence' is a real challenge, even for well-trained cyclists with over 21 km of constant climbing. The full 110 km ride starts 37 km south east of the main climb in the picturesque village of Sault passing lavender lined roads as it twists its way to the climbs start in Bedoin via the very scenic Gorges du Nesque. After this you can take in the most well known side of the Ventoux, past its ever changing forests & out into the moonscape terrain at the top. If after reaching the top you have energy left for more you can descend down the western side as there is still a slightly challenging 53 km ride to the finish in Montbrun.

Giro del Mortirolo

In this film you will get to know the three Giro d’Italia climbs that are feared by all. The Mortirolo (1.851 m), one of the toughest climbs that the sport of cycling has to offer. The Stelvio (2.758 m), climbed for the first time in 1953, when cycling legend Fausto Coppi reached the top as ’numero uno’. And the Passo di Gavia (2.621 m), the mountain pass that gave birth to one of the most epic Giro stages ever when Johan van der Velde conquered its snowy flanks. You will not ride through the snow in your home, but there is no doubt that seeing this film will make you break into a cold sweat.

Grossglockner

The Grossglockner is one of the most famous mountain passes in the world. The road across the pass was constructed in the thirties, especially to grant the Austrians better access to the wonderful mountainous landscapes and glaciers. The 62 km ride starts in the valley south of Bruck at about 800 m & takes you up the Northern side of the climb past the Fuscher Törl at 2428 m, the tunnel at Hochtor 2504 m & then up to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe Glacier 2369 m. The 2nd part of the ride takes you back up the southern side again past the Fuscher Törl to the finish 3 km further high up on the Edelweiss Peak at the Bikers Nest view point 2571 m.

The Bonus ride (25 km) is a scenic loop based on the Geros Pass further up the valley from the Grossglockner.
