This route came about from someone wanting to hit the Lacets du Montvernier. These are some pretty cool switchback ups a short fairly steep climb. Start off in Bourg d'Oisans and head out towards Allemont. Go around the lake and then begin the nice climb up towards the Glandon. Descend down the other side to get to the foot of the Lacets du Montvernier. You are now tracing part of the 2018 Tour du France route. Once you've done the Lacets youtake a left and have some gentle riding before crossing back over the Valley to attack the Croix de Fer from the other side. Once over the top you'll be descending the same way you came up. At the bottom choose to either finish in Bourg, take the slightly easier climb up to ADH via Villard Reculas, or even finish as they did in the 2018 Tour by climbing the 21 bends. This was when Thomas left Froome behind and claimed victory!
