Another Tour de France monument crossed

Right after checking out, we started the ascent to Col du Lauteret with our trusty bikes. Note: this pass is just a detour...

Then the impressive ride up to Col du Galibier (2645). The snow was close... There were also many other colleagues with the same goal.

Then a fast descent on the Savoie side with an uphill section to Col du Télégraphe (1566 m), down to Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne (720 m). Then along the l'Arc towards Modane with a "Leventina feeling" and further to our stage destination in Termignon. Thanks to a strong tailwind, we quickly made our way up the valley.
