Colle del Nivolet - the most beautiful climb in the Alps?
Our destination today is generally rated as the most beautiful paved climb in the Alps: the Colle de Nivolet! Not often do we get the oppotunity to ride this majestic climb but with the Tour de France finishing in nearby Turin tomorrow, we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ride this gem of a climb.
From our hotel in downtown Turin we’ll have a transfer to Strambino where we’ll jump on the bikes and head out on this truly epic ride. From Strambino we take a little detour to include the magnificent Pian del Lupo climb which we last rode in 2019 during Stage 13 of the Giro d’Italia. The descent from Pian del Lupo brings you back to the main Nivolet route, 52 km from the summit, with the final 18km being absolutely spectacular. Enjoy!

Climbs
Stage 1
Florence > Rimini
It’s rare for the Tour de France to start with more than 3,600 metres of climbing – in fact it’s never happened before! – and it’s also the first time that the race has visited the home city of Gino Bartali. The succession of hills in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna are likely to be the setting for an immediate and testing confrontation between the contenders for the title, particularly the climb into San Marino (7.1km at 4.8%), where the race will add a 13th name to its catalogue of foreign visits.
Stage 2
Cesenatico > Bologna
The passage across the Emilia-Romagna region is straightforward enough to begin with as it takes the peloton to Imola and its famous motor racing circuit. The final part of the stage, featuring the climb to the Sanctuary of San Luca (1.9km at 10.6%), the traditional finale of the Giro dell’Emilia, which will be tackled twice in the final 40km, offers fertile terrain for the peloton’s puncheurs.
Stage 3
Piacenza > Turin
The sprinters will have started the 2024 Tour with their teeth gritted, but now they’ll have something to sink them into with the finish in Turin. Prior to that, the peloton will pay a passing tribute to Fausto Coppi by heading through Tortone, where il campionissimo died. By that point, though, the sprinters’ domestiques will already be hard at work, their focus on ensuring a sprint finale. There’ll be little room for manoeuvre for the breakaway riders.
Stage 4
Pinerolo > Valloire
The race leaves Italy after a long climb to the resort of Sestrières, where Coppi triumphed in 1952, the border subsequently reached at the Col de Montgenèvre. Then, after ascending the Lautaret pass, the riders will tackle the 2,642-metre Galibier. This will be the first opportunity for the favourites to test themselves in the high mountains.
Stage 5
Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Saint-Vulbas
The race’s temporary exit from the Alps will be made via Chambéry. Soon after, the peloton will be in La Bridoire, where the finish of the Classique des Alpes Juniors is regularly held. That’s a race for climbers, but they won’t get a look-in here as they head for Saint-Vulbas. After the Côte de l’Huis, tackled with 34km remaining, the wide roads beyond will be ideal for keeping a close eye on the breakaway riders. The winner’s bouquet looks destined to go to a sprinter.
Stage 6
Mâcon > Dijon
Fans of medieval architecture will be treated to aerial images of Cluny Abbey and much more. The breakaway will set off with the ambition of holding off the peloton’s pursuit though the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise, but the sprinters should have the last word on the 800-metre straight into the prefecture of the Côte-d’Or.
Stage 7
Nuits-Saint-Georges > Gevrey-Chambertin
Great wines for great riders! But before venturing into the heart of the vineyards, the time trial specialists will spend almost two-thirds of this time trial on forest roads. The climb of the Côte de Curtil-Vergy (1.6km at 6.1%), which comes in the final section, will test their tolerance to pain. On the face of it, there shouldn’t be any big gaps between the best riders, but who knows?
Stage 8
Semur-en-Auxois > Colombey-les-deux-Églises
Although no altitude records will be broken, the first two-thirds of this stage does feature five categorised climbs. The relentless ups and downs may put a strain on the legs at the point when the sprinters’ team-mates are starting to think about setting up a bunch finish. But the last three kilometres of the final straight, which rise slightly but steadily, could be the ideal place to bring the peloton back together.

Hotels

Hotel NH Torino Lingotto
The Hotel NH Torino Lingotto is located in the former FIAT car factory, redesigned by architect Renzo Piano. It's a unique building and Turin landmark and is located just 1km from the Finish Line of Stage 3 of the Tour de France and directly at the foot of the Superga and Colle della Maddalena iconic cycling climbs, making it the ideal location for easy access to the Stage Finish and to you the top cycling routes in the area. The hotel itself is quite stunning with the tropical Garden of Wonders dominating the center of the hotel.

Hotel Pic Blanc
Le Pic Blanc is the top hotel in Alpe d'Huez and over the years we've built a fantastic relationship with this much sought-after hotel, granting Thomson privileged access during the Tour de France. The restaurant and the rooms have incredible views of the high Alpine peaks just off to the south of the hotel. An indoor pool, spa, outside terrace and lounge bar make this a wonderful place to relax after a hard day's riding in the Alps!
