From Bourg Saint Maurice the club up to the ski station at Les Arc is 22km at an average of around 7%. Cursitas took it on as the third col of the day on day 1 of the 2019 edition.
The climb is perhaps most famous as being the breaking point in Miguel Indurain’s domination of the Tour de France. The big man was aiming for a record 6th GC victory, but the cracks appeared at 1,600m and he was dropped and never quite recovered in the overall standings.
