Route Details
2018 TDMB Day 3
Elevation Gain: 3,455 m | 11,335 ft
We start with the Col du Galibier. A long pull up the valley before it steepens with the first bends. The climb does not let up much as it makes its way into the barren rocky landscape. The final bends cut through a steep cliff before we are rewarded with the summit views of the majestic glaciers and spires of La Meije. The epic descent starts with steep, narrow and wild bends through the alpine landscape, then at the Col du Lautaret the road widens for a quick ride down to the walled-castles of Briançon. Next the Col d’Izoard! The descent through the famous Casse Déserte is completely epic. It starts by traversing alpine fields before many hairpins through pine forest to the beautiful limestone gorge which brings you to Guillestre.
We climb to the Col at the ski village of Vars and descend to Jausiers and our hotel

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
