If you visit the Alps this summer you need to do this climb.....

Col du Granon,just outside Briancon, it is a brute, nearly 17kms in length and 1000 mtrs of climbing.
Tough no false flats or easy bits at all just grind. Views from the top breathtaking.
Descent very quick but watch the narrowness of the road.
Best climb of my 10 days there.
