Riding Galibier from Valloire
Explore the Galibier climb from Valloire in Everycol’s French Alps region. This route begins in Valloire and finishes at the Col du Galibier, keeping the northern ascent as a standalone indoor ride.
There are several Galibier routes in the catalog. This one does not include the preceding Col du Télégraphe from Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne. The Télégraphe & Galibier route combines those climbs, while the Briançon approach reaches the Galibier from the other side via the Col du Lautaret.
Which side of the Galibier is this?
Valloire is the start and the Col du Galibier is the finish. The map makes that direction explicit, so you can distinguish this ascent from the longer combination with the Télégraphe and from the southern approach. Select the route that matches the part of the mountain you want to ride.
Using the Galibier elevation profile
The profile shows the climb from the mapped Valloire start to the pass. Compare its total ascent and distance with Télégraphe & Galibier before choosing a ride: sharing a summit does not mean the routes have the same climbing load. The statistics come from Everycol’s elevation model.
