The dark, brooding, snow-covered slopes of Galibier might be steeped in beauty, but they also pose a huge challenge to the riders brave enough to tackle it.
This fine balance of tranquility and tumult is reflected in the final installment of the Most Iconic Climbs of the Tour de France trilogy, which was produced by BikeRadar in association with Oakley.
Unique in its landscape and beauty, Galibier truly earns its place as one of the most iconic Tour de France climbs ever.
