		The Galibier road is like a long, gray, giant python coiled over and around a massive piece of rock—now slithering left, now turning right, now doubling back on itself, its head reaching into the clouds up above.
		Unlike the climb to the Col du Télégraphe, Galibier is barren and treeless.

		The scenery is stunning on top of Galibier and Glandon, the vast views, the clear mountain lakes, the smell of pine forests and the laidback atmosphere in the mountain villages give you reason to slow down and soak it all in.

		But the fact that to do it properly required doing the Col du Telegraph first had been a bit intimidating.
		But the col is often closed due to snow by mid October, so it was now or next year.
		Before even starting Galibier, it's necessary to climb the Col du Telegraph - and ascent of almost 3,000 feet (840 metres).

	Ride Around Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du Galibier
		Still, traffic this time of the day in mid July didn’t seem that bad and did not present too much of a hassle—perhaps because lycra-clad beings hunched over their metal machines is not that rare of a sight in this area and motorists are always on the lookout for them.
		Soon the right-turn sign for Allemond and Col de la Croix de Fer appeared, and I followed this pleasant road past sleepy settlements, an inviting campsite, and, following a short uphill, a dam.
		Thereafter the road proceeded to climb with a little more determination and signs of civilization slowly disappeared, giving way to an absolutely serene stretch of beautiful road, with lush vegetation; in places the influence of a rushing stream was very evident.

	My ride up the Col du Galibier
		The Telegraphe is not a terribly difficult climb according to the course profile but combined with the Galibier, it becomes a killer.
		The Col du Telegraph is so named because at the very top of the climb is a series of radio and TV towers.
		After the Col du Telegraphe, there is a small downhill of about 150 meters vertical in 5 kilometers into the small town of Valloire.

	Ride Up Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du Galibier (Part 2)
		From Col du Glandon at 6,260 feet, the road curved clockwise towards the Col de la Croix de Fer, one of the most illustrious and historic passes in all of cycling.
		But once the tough Col du Glandon was attained, the additional 2 miles to Croix de Fer (6,772 feet) became a relatively short, easy climb.
		In the parking lot opposite the restaurant at the top of the pass, a large group of French boys and girls were strapping on their backpacks getting ready for what looked like a day-long hike.

		I was out rather soon in the sunny morning and went away to climb the Col de Montgenevre (1850 m), which obviously is one of the easiest crossings in the alps.
		Col du Galibier (2642 m) is one of the most famous Tour de France passes, that they go over practically every year.
