Col du Grand Colombier from Artemare (France) - Indoor Cycling Training

Col du Grand Colombier is the most famous mountain pass of the Jura mountains. This mountain rises like a giant from the valley floor. Few riders are not blown away by the epic climbs you can do up this mountain. The mountain has four approaches. The approach from Artemare is by many regarded as the most difficult approach. And much more difficult than Alpe d’Huez and Mont Ventoux. It is a ride where you have to ride wisely not to run out of energy on your way. Three-fourths into the ride you get to a very difficult section with gradients higher than 15 percent. Grand Colombier should be on the bucket list of every serious rider. It is not for no reason that it has featured in the Tour de France and Critérium du Dauphiné.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we have added no music. Instead, we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... We have left the original sound of the ride out. This is because the noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing drowns the natural sound of the surroundings.
