Hello !

In the last few years I cycled all of the paved climbs going above 2000 m in the Alps & Pyrenees & canary islands.
I edited a best of video about my bicycletour that I had this summer in the Alps (1828 kms + 39441 m ) .
This video contains not all of the climbs that I cycled but the most beautiful ones or most memorable ones. The following clmbs can be seen for few dozen seconds or for a minute:
Passo Mortirlo, Gavia, Umbrail, Passo dello Stelvio , Forcola di Livigno , Passo dello Spluga , Juf , Oberalppass , Sustenpass (in rain + 3 degrees Celsius) , Triftalp ( 2090 m) , Moosalp (Stalden side along the vertical rockwall ) , Simplonpass , Colle Fauniera (partly above clouds) , Usseglio - Alpe Bessanetto climb (with chamois !!! ) , Col des Gondrans, La Bergerie du Bois Noir (2009 m), Col du Granon, Sestriere

3-5 of these climbs can be value as being between the ost wonderful ascents of the Alps (Stelvio, Gavia, TRiftalp (Susten - I cycled it in rain ), Colle Fauniera & Granon )

Have pleasure with the video !
(In few months time I plan to write a travelogue too)

/I started a facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/cycling.high
- with posts in Hungarian & in English ) where I will post infos, photos, videos about my tours, experiences (more than 30.000 kms in the Alps, Pyrenées, canary islands & Andalucia) ... about cycling high .. and plan an article or list / collection about the most wonderful paved climbs (finishing above 2000 m) of the Alps, Pyrenées, Canary islands & Andalucia (I haven't visited there Calar Alto 2 years ago I had not enough time for that)

Best regards,
Gábor [b][/b]

    I edited another french paved climb finishing above 2000 m: La Bergerie du Bois Noir (2010 m).
    This is a hardly known ascent in France.
    The ascent's light section started at Guillestre. I started to cycle the same road that goes to Col d'Izoard, but after the canyon I had to turn right to Ceillac and the ascent's last section was a very calm valley with a stream and with a strange part when ca 30 m long the water came out of the ground and fell down to the stream ....
    The paved road finished at 2010 m. I loved this climb ! It's worth visiting !

    Hello Readers
    Here is the last video I missed to have all videos about the asphalted climbs going above 2000 m in the French Alps. (In the following post I will show that list / collection with photos and videos )
    Col du Granon is a steep (9,2% for 1053 m heightdiff. --> so it's harder than the ascent of Alpe d'Huez) and wonderful climb; one of my favourite ascents. 80% of the ascent is a panoramic road and there is almost no traffic: I met ca. 2-3 vehicles during the climb.
    Up to now I visited twice and both occasions I rode it in sunny weather.
    Have pleasure with the - I think : great - video

    Hello !
    The following video is about one of the epic / killer / monster paved climbs of the Alps and Europe that goes above 2000m.

    Based on the data of salite.ch and climbbybike.com Ausserfragant - Grosser Oschenuiksee (2394 m) is the hardest or 2nd hardest paved ascents of the Alps (of the wide dartabase schmunzel ), harder than Monte Zoncolan or Angliru (in Spain).

    Data: 17 km & 9,8%, but the last 10 kms = 13% steepness, but often 14-15% and max. 18-20% (you can see it in my video )
    That's an epic, a monster, a killer, but I loved it. That was a real challenge !

    The video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C70JluUdLg

    Have pleasure with the video

    Hello !
    I'm happy to share another cycling video about an alpine ascent: Sölden - Hochsölden (2089 m)

    It is situated in Tirol, Austria, just next to the famous ascent of Ötztaler gletscherstrasse (2829 m).
    It is 6,3 km long wth 10,4% avg. steepness. At the end of the climb, Hochsölden there is great, panoramic meadow with a restaurant and a playground for the children. It is an ideal place for the family too.
    Thanks for watching the video

    Hello !
    I'm to present another compilation / best of video about another great bicycletour in the French Alps with several legendary climbs, ascents. The tour happaned in the year 2011.
    After the first 2 days (in Italy ) I cycled in France and visited famous, Tour de France cols, climbs, like Bonette (2802 m), Col d'Izoard (2360 m), Alpe d'Huez, Col du Galibier (2645 m), Col de l'Iseran (2770 m), but few hardly known ones, like Parking du Laus, Le Saut, Plan de Lac (2360 m) - one of my favourite. On the climb of Col de la Lombarde I saw chamois, unfortunately only for few seconds, but in the year 2014 on a hardly known italian ascent (will be presented in few weeks time smile hangulatjel ) offered me the opportunity to record 2 chamoises for video for ca. 1 min long. At La Bonette (2802 m) I got the best amazing weather that I could: sunshine with very small clouds, cumuluses.

    Have pleasure with the video and thanks for watching

    The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yX05irisi8

    and a picture to show great moments of the video
