About Alpe d’Huez
Alpe d’Huez is the most famous climb of the Tour de France: 21 numbered hairpins lead from Le Bourg-d’Oisans up to the ski resort, each named after a stage winner. The steepest ramps come right at the start.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
