Epic Cols: The World's Greatest Climbs. Captured.

Iconic climbs such as Alpe d’Huez and Stelvio Pass have stood firmly at the top as the World’s Greatest Cycling Climbs. And, for good reason.

Epic Cols is a collection of the most beautiful cycling climbs – its mission is to scour the world searching for cycling perfection and challenge the Greats.

The Valle Nevado inspired this project and is the epitome of the Epic Cols’ mission. It is a world-class climb with 58 switchbacks in 29 kilometres reaching 3000m altitude that most have not heard of. See the article.

The hunting has already begun, and the collection will always be evolving. Please subscribe to receive notification of climbs newly added.

It's going to be EPIC. Glad you can join us!

Hautacam

France

A beautiful climb that demands attention.

Hautacam is a 13km climb, ascending 1170m to 1635m altitude with sections of 15% gradients and an overall average of 8%. It has made special appearances on the Tour de France and can be considered a gentle giant.

From Argelès-Gazost, the climb begins through farming fields and green meadows. The road is narrow and ascends with wide bends through small hamlets.

The final few kilometres are not without stunning views of the Hautes-Pyrénées.

Colle delle Finestre

Part gravel. Entirely epic.

Mont Ventoux

It is the white sea at 1,909m. Mont Ventoux is epic. A giant that stands alone in the Provence region of Southern France, Mont Ventoux has made for some of the most dramatic backdrops for the Tour de France. With gradients between 7-10%, the 22km climb from Bédoin is one of cycling’s most talked about climbs. Its stark summit with oceanic limestone, heat haze and strong winds has taken the legs and last breaths of pro riders.

Col de la Madeleine

(La Chambre)

A col that demands attention.

Sant Pere de Rodes

Girona

From sea to monastery. In riding back over 1000 years as you climb from the sea to a monastery built in 878 BC – this climb is both enchanting and rewarding. It ticks all the boxes.
