Linking the Maurienne and Tarentaise Valleys, the Madeleine is a must for all road cyclists visiting Savoie. The road via Montgellafrey is the 10th hardest climb in the area. With views of Mont Blanc from the summit, it's a must for pure climbers.
In 2020, for the first time, the cyclists of the Tour de France have passed by this variant.
